I guess Makefile generates "maxima.core" binary compatible with current shell script ./src/maxima, i.e. not an ELF but lisp memory runable via "--core" parameter

Yes, this is a nice feature.
But having "core" files could also be useful for other purposes (for debugging maxima under SLIME?)
OTOH, if making executable, then it should be named other than "maxima.core"
