Thanks for looking into this.

I just grabbed 2.6.8pre from cvs into a temp directory and
created a replacement tarball for the Axiom build, thus:

  cd /home/page/temp-dir
  export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/gcl
  cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre gcl
  tar czvf gcl-2.6.8pre.tgz gcl-2.6.8pre
  cd /home/page/axiom.build-improvements/zips
  mv gcl-2.6.8pre.tgz old_gcl-2.6.8pre.tgz
  mv /home/page/temp-dir/gcl-2.6.8pre.tgz .
  cd /home/page/axiom.build-improvements

I edited the GCLOPTS in Makefile from
  --enable-maxpage=256*1024
to
  --enable-maxpage=196*1024
resulting in

  GCLOPTS=--enable-vssize=65536*2 --enable-statsysbfd \
          --enable-maxpage=196*1024

in the default build for Axiom Silver build-improvements branch:

  make clean
  ./configure | tee build.log
  make 2>&1 | tee -a build.log

The build proceeded much further than before - the GCL sub-build
finished without errors - yeah! But the build of Axiom failed
with the following error message quite far along into the
interpsys build phase :(

  error: conflicting types for 'MYCOMBINE'

This is not something I have seen before. This same source builds
fine with the older version of 2.6.8pre and 128*256.

Here is the tail end of the log. I can send you the rest if you
like.

Please let me know how I can help.

Regards,
Bill Page
