Well, the algebra build chocked again at layer 19, but we are close.

There is undoubtedly a few quality bugs to iron out, if my experiences
with full builds using 2.6.8pre in ANSI mode carry over to a run on
our test-suite.  But in general, yes, I would think the issues are
limited.

I have high hopes that Axiom can be ready for a full ANSI release near
about the time GCL goes 2.7.0.
