Thanks, that's interesting. I've been trying to get Maxima on Android
for a while.
At the moment, I have a Debian install in a chroot on my Android
phone, as described at
<http://evilzone.org/android/debian-on-android/>;. Maxima runs fine in
that Debian install, and I've tried a few simple calculations
successfully. But the testsuite seems to be absent, and apt-get
claims to be unable to locate the maxima-test package.
