I'm glad that Ralf is tackling the third TMFORM issue.
Meanwhile I found a simple solution/workaround for the first two:
If we put SBCL path (with spaces) into PATH, then there's no
problem to use --with-lisp="sbcl --dynamic-space-size 4096".
To truly solve this issue, I guess we will need a separate
"--with-lisp-args" option. But I don't see the need for support this,
after all, we do not support building FriCAS when srcdir or builddir
contains spaces. I'm satisfied with current situation now.

Another tricky bug on Windows is that, we can't compile TMFORM
with default heap size, so we need to pass "--dynamic-space-size 4096".
That is not a problem on Linux, but on Windows, it's complicated.
First, by default, SBCL installation path contains spaces.
("C:\Program Files\Steel Bank Common Lisp\2.0.0")
Our configure script and Makefile are not happy about it.
Is it a bug that we can't compile FriCAS with SBCL installed in a
directory which contains spaces (on either linux or windows).
Second, I can tweak build script to make previous problem go away,
but to combine "SBCL path contains space" and "pass additional
parameters to SBCL", it seems impossible? I can't work out the
correct combination between quote chars and escape chars.
Anyway, we can simply install SBCL into "C:\sbcl" and call it a day,
but still, can we improve the current situation?
Third, is it a bug that compile TMFORM requires so much RAM?
We should look into it to see if RAM usage can be reduced.
