Well, grepping through the GCL source code finds the #defines MAX_ARGS
and ARG_LIMIT, which are both 63 ... I guess one could change them and
rebuild GCL and then Maxima, although I would wonder if there will be
unintended effects from that.

What is that bug? Could you please report it to the bug tracker, if you
haven't already? http://sf.net/p/maxima/bugs

If you are routinely rebuilding Maxima, it shouldn't be any problem to
use SBCL. From what I know, the Windows version of SBCL works OK.
