I assume this error was spurious?

Very odd. :-(

This looks like a Lisp problem, but on the SourceForge compile
farm MAC OSX server where I compiled this binary I get:

I would like to be able to explain the differences between Tim
Daly's results above and this one. Could you both please provide
detailed information about the computer hardware and operating
system? What cpu? What version of OSX?

Hmmm... at least that is consistent with Humberto's results. :-(
Can you give me any more specific information about the cpu?
Can you suggest some command that I can give to the SourceForge
compile farm OSX system that I am using that will give equivalent
information for comparison?

If we compile gcl with the .configure option --enable-debug, then
we can get a more detailed traceback that Camm Maguire (gcl
developer) should be able to use to help diagnose the problem.

At this point I am not sure exactly what to do.
First I suppose I should start this all over again using the
newest version of gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs. This version has a
new (better) treatment of the llibintl problem.
Second, I will build gcl with --enable-debug
Third I will re-build Axiom start with the most recent source
in build-improvements. The source I used to build the current
Axiom binary for MAC is based on build-improvements as of a
couple of weeks ago plus local patches I thought I needed as
I tried to get this to work.
I will let you know when I have another binary. It will probably
not be before the weekend. Maybe someone else with there hands
directly on a MAC would like also to give this a try? If so I
recommend pulling the most recent sources from the build-
improvements branch on SourceForge. If anyone needs help with
this, just ask.
Thanks for all your help.
Regards,
Bill Page.
