That's a normal shell failure code from /bin/sh. Gentoo is
not involved in the build at all, I'm building this manually
after checking-out the source code from CVS. 

My system _is_ tricky, because I'm running SELinux (the NSA
variant) with the PaX stack protection code from Grsecurity.
Plus, I'm running the very latest gcc with special stack
protection features patched in. So it's quite normal for
compilations to fail on my machine, as you can imagine. :-)

Still I think that Axiom _should_ build fine on such a
set-up, because it really shouldn't be bothered by how the
compiler lays out its stack frame! GCL seems to be another
issue, though.

Anyway, my point is, that I would really like to get this
fixed. :-) If there is anything I can do to help, please let
me know. I can give you guys an account on my machine, if
that helps.

Peter


P. S.: I'm running the binary snapshot for Debian right now,
which works (after I disabled stack protection for its
binary).
