Oh dear. So, why doesn't this happen with "GoldenAxiom"? Is the new build
procedure more sensitive to sloppy programming bugs?

Well, meanwhile I was able to build most of axiom by building and installing
GCL (from build-improvements) separately. Before that, I almost consistently
got the error about missing ALIST.o. Might that help to track down the bug?
However, now the build stops in guess-pkg: FAMR2.NRLIB/code.o is missing.
Looking at trace, the problem seens to start in SUPEXPR, I get a "non extending
category" message there, albeit without any error message. The next domain
which is compiled is FAMR2, and there it says
System error:
Cannot create the file FAMR2.erlib/index.KAF.
(Note that FAMR2 does *not* depend on SUPEXPR...)
