[Axiom-developer] build improvements results

[Waldek Hebisch]

I have uptdated to build-improvements form 29.09.2006 and tried it
on a few system. On debian sarge i386 and gentoo amd64  build works
both with system gcl and with bundled gcl (using `--without-gcl')
option. On amd64 mandrake 9.2 build works with bundled gcl (did not
try installed gcl). On debian unstable bundled gcl does not build
due to missing msgfmt:

make[6]: Wejście do katalogu 
`/home/s/test/tt/axiom7/ax-build2/lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/binutils/bfd/po'
file=./`echo fr | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
          && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH msgfmt -o $file fr.po
/bin/sh: line 1: msgfmt: command not found
make[6]: *** [fr.gmo] Błąd 127


Again on debian unstable using installed gcl fails:

make[2]: Wejście do katalogu `/home/s/test/tt/axiom7/ax-build/lsp'
echo '(compiler::link nil 
"/home/s/test/tt/axiom7/ax-build/build/x86_64-unknown-linux/bin/lisp" \

                                          (si::*load-types* ~S)) \
                                         (compiler::emit-fn t)) \
                                    (when (fboundp (quote si::sgc-on)) \
                                          (si::sgc-on t)) \
                                    (setq compiler::*default-system-p* t))" \
                        si::*system-directory* (quote (list ".lsp"))) \

When I modified the Makefile to put the 'compiler::link' form on a
single line I was able to restart the build. Build produced stopped latex
process later, but appearently I got working AXIOMsys.
