I did a 'tla update' on the axiom sources on axiom.developer.org
and then tried the build of patch-46. It fails with the following
error:

echo " (in-package \"USER\")(system:save-system \"saved_pre_gcl\")" >>foo
/home/page/repository/axiom--main--1/lsp/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/raw_pre_gcl
/home/page/repository/axiom--main--1/lsp/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/ -libdir
/home/page/repository/axiom--main--1/lsp/gcl-2.6.7/ < foo
GCL (GNU Common Lisp)  April 1994  262144 pages

Unrecoverable error: NULL_OR_ON_C_STACK macro invalid.
make[4]: *** [saved_pre_gcl] Error 134

-------

I know from previous attempts that this error is due to
the change in the gcl configure parameter --enable-maxpage.
128 builds but 256 fails.

I asked Camm about this about a month ago but I do not
recall a specific answer as to the specific cause or cure.

Are you able to build with this value of maxpage on your
systems?
