I have built Maxima-17.1 on Clozure on FreeBSD-7 and i can report success
similar to yours. Maxima runs well and fast, for example the grobner basis
are computed very fast. However a large number of tests in the test suite
fail, most i have seen are precision problems on floating point, so perhaps
not much to worry.

I have seen the same.

I did the same here and (maxima-dump) didn't work either.
