I'll look into this. However, I do know that 20a had a few bugs in its
SSE2 support, which I didn't catch until later. More recent snapshots
have these issues fixed, but, of course, that doesn't help if you're
using 20a. It might be possible to supply a patch for these issues.
Also, you can try building maxima using x87 support. I'm pretty sure
this passes maxima's testsuite. (Use -fpu x87. I forgot how to tell
configure/make to do this, but I did try it sometime ago and it
worked.) I don't know if debian supplies the x87 core or not.
Sorry for the troubles,
