Hmm, AFAICS in trunk both interpsys and AXIOMsys are build on
top of bootsys. The reason is that to implement ')boot' system
command we need Boot to Lisp translator. After removal of
old Boot only Shoe remains for this purpose, and the simplest
method to include Shoe in AXIOMsys is to build it on top
of bootsys.

You are wrong: in trunk old BOOT is removed and depsys can no longer
work as Boot to Lisp translator. The reason we keep depsys is that
it contains Lisp macros which are not present in bootsys but
are needed for compilations of Lisp files. It is likely that
with small effort we could reorganize build process so that
depsys is not needed at all.

interpsys is AXIOMsys when it was young :). More precisely, compared
to interpsys AXIOMsys contains some extra proloaded data and a few
variables have different values.

See above.
