-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
It turns out that after the upgrade to Maxima 5.34.1 (#16908), a working C
compiler is needed to run Maxima on ECL, which is of course inacceptable.
The problem is caused by the compilation of four regular expressions on
startup.
As a workaround until this is fixed upstream, we revert the Maxima commit
introducing this compilation.
