Hmm. This is my fault: I didn't test the dist-gzip target. But shouldn't
we just not be generating any sys-proclaim.lisp for the distribution
tarball/zip archive? I mean, the whole point is that when Maxima gets
compiled with GCL, a sys-proclaim.lisp gets built for us.
Sorry for the slow reply: I've just moved house and internet access will
be rather patchy for a few more days.
