The source is at (the revision probably does not matter much, but just
in case I add '-r 636' option):

svn checkout 
https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/wh-sandbox -r 636 
wh-sandbox

I have tried to enable debugging.  However, the image seem to be badly
damaged, because alredy the second command give me error.  To give
more context: we build one image using 'compiler:link'.  This image
is used to build the second one using 'save-system'.  The second
image gives me:
