----------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Currently, the maxima install process uses asdf to create a fasl file.
This has caused problems in several situations already, most notably in
sage-on-gentoo. There I came up with a different approach, which doesn't
use asdf but instead patches the maxima build instructions to emit the
fasl along with the program. Essentially I duplicate the `c::build-
program` invocation and turn that duplicate into `c::build-fasl`. I guess
doing so might be beneficial to sage as well. I'll create this ticket here
then start working on a branch which includes my approach.

which resulted in the inclusion of my approach into the maxima ebuild for
Gentoo
* comment:48:ticket:14636 mentioned the sage-on-gentoo approach, and there
was some interest in getting this into sage itself as well
