Dear Robert and Juan Jose,

I can't get Maxima--5.19.1 to build on Itanium on top of ECL.   The
build fails with:
--------------------
...
;;; Emitting code for DO-MERGE-SYMM.
;;; Emitting code for DO-MERGE-ASYM.
;;; Internal error: #<a floating-point-overflow>
;      - Loading binary file "binary-ecl/clmacs.fas" An error occurred
during initialization:
Filesystem error with pathname
#P"/home/wstein/screen/cleo/build/sage-4.2.alpha1/spkg/build/maxima-5.19.1.p0/src/src/binary-ecl/clmacs.fas".
Either
 1) the file does not exist, or
 2) we are not allow to access the file, or
 3) the pathname points to a broken symbolic link..
make[1]: *** [binary-ecl/maxima] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/wstein/screen/cleo/build/sage-4.2.alpha1/spkg/build/maxima-5.19.1.p0/src/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
--------------------

Does this mean anything to either of you?   I've posted the complete
build log here (this includes building ECL and
everything else in Sage):
http://wstein.org/home/wstein/tmp/install.log-itanium.txt

The file "clmacs.fas" mentioned above indeed does not exist (so it's 1) above.

If you don't have access to Itanium, I can get you an account on a
well-maintained machine.  Anyway, any thoughts/hints/ideas/crazy
guesses?  This is a major blocker for the next Sage release.   It
happens on both RHEL 5 Itanium *and* SUSE Itanium, using GCC 4.4.2.
