OK, as you've gotten a successful build, there is really very little
chance of memory corruption.  And I'm surmising that the larger
save-system image has to do with the native unexmacosx code we have
courtesy of Aurelien.  In fact, I have never really studied this code,
so he is currently the only person in the world likely to have such
knowledge at the moment!

This .8 is still odd.  Might be interesting to add )lisp
si::*load-types* somewhere to examine the defaults.

I've built macosx maxima in the past, but youre mileage may vary :-). 

I am concluding that with the possible exception of fc6, gcl 2.6.8 is
ready vis a vis axiom.  It would be most helpful if someone could
confirm the Fedora status for me.

Take care,
