| That's odd. I built Axiom on Nov 15 19:04 from the build-improvements
| repository (Revision: 274) on the axiom-developer.org server with no
| problems - at least none that I noticed. The build log shows that
| the regression tests were all run and Axiom seems to work fine in
| simple manual confidence tests.
| 
| What components in particular were not built?


graph, sman, hyper and input.

| What error message should I look for in the log?

There is no dirct error message on console.  However, when I looked at
build/$target/trace, there are many instances of hyperdoc complaining
it does not understand \spad.

I'm running a binary search on another machine, and I'll revert only
when it is cross-checked.

| What machine were you using for the test?

I did the binary search on my laptop, i686-pc-linux-gnu.
I'm cross checking on a x86-suse-linux.

| The only thing I did a little differently from the standard build
| was that I pre-built gcl from the zips because on axiom-developer
| I need to set maxpages < 256*1024. This time I built it with
| 200*1024.

That should not matter.

I don't know yet -- if I knew I would just fix it :-)
