I'm quite disappointed by the very manner you approach this issue.

I've bee made aware the Axiom build issue and started work on it.
With the goal of eventually having a system that can be cross-compiled.

You started out a few days ago claiming that anybody who speaks of
cross-compilation of Axiom does not understand who Lisp works.
If your assertion were true, it would effectively stop fruitless work
in early stage and save reousrces.

Therefore, I very politely requested that you elaborate in a
comprehensive manner why you believe that.  You very have consistently
refused to explain yourself.  I've offered examples.  You either
dismiss them, or turn around.  And now, you complain I'm
non-analytical and confrontational.  That IS disppointing.

Please either explain yourself or let's stop this nonsense.
