Yes, I understand. But this is a separate problem.

We are talking about Axiom here, remember. It is nothing for us if the build of Axiom talks all day long! So what if building polymake takes a couple of hours? Anyway as far as I can tell, there are some errors in the polymake source code. I would be glad to discuss this with the developers.
