For fun, I got the SVN version of aldor and built it. It worked
properly for a simple test. When I tried to build fricas I got the
error as mentioned previously. I should note that I also get an error
if I run the aldor tests using 'make testaxl' so perhaps there is an
issue with my aldor installation.
