Do you have test failing?

Like I said I did a full build and test; I ran Axiom on some programs
of mine using recursion -- not large size though.  I did not see
anything failing nor see more noise than before -- as diff could tell me.

I went through the archive, and finally discover this in
src/interp/Makefile.pamplhet:

\section{Building SAVESYS and AXIOMSYS}
GCL likes to tell you when it has replaced a function call by a
tail-recursive call. This happens when the last form in a function
is a call to the same function. In general, we don't care so we set
compiler::*suppress-compiler-notes* to true in order to reduce the noise.

and below, there is this line:

        @ echo '#+:akcl (setq compiler::*suppress-compiler-notes* t)' >> 
${OUT}/makeint.lisp 


Are you having a failure that necesitate the setting of
compiler::*suppress-compiler-notes everything time Axiom is invoked?
