FYI, the Maxima builds started failing after the recent upgrade to
'gcl'.  I raised the issue here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-11/msg00341.html

The person who upgraded 'gcl' first said that he could reproduce the
build failure locally, and then said that he couldn't.  I'm not sure
what happened there.
