Okay, thanks!

I do not use maxima (so it would be nice to get input from someone who
does). To me it looks as if the different base lisps are more or less
exchangeable for the goal of getting a running binary. So maybe it would
be enough to build only the ecl version?

The latest change was to switch from gcl to sbcl, in a commit by Guillaume,
since maxima stopped building with the former; how about switching to ecl?
