[Axiom-developer] build-improvements on ia64

[Richard Harke]

I built gcl manually per suggestion. Based on suggestions
I used the following configure command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--enable-vssize=65536*2 --enable-maxpage=256*1024 \
--disable-x --disable-xgcl --disable-tkconfig

After installing gcl, I configured Axiom:
./configure --with-gcl

During make, I have problem with bootsys:

I have been doing a make clean between attempts but I think
some file times don't reflect this. I tried make dist-clean but
didn't work. What is the best way to reset?
