Comment(by nbruin):

 This should solve the problem:
 {{{
 mkdir ./lisp-cache
 }}}
 then in lisp:
 {{{
 (require 'asdf)
 (setf asdf::*user-cache* (truename "./lisp-cache"))
 (load "maxima-build.lisp")
 (asdf:make-build :maxima :type :fasl :move-here ".")
 }}}

  * this directory is guaranteed to be on the same file system
  * the cache is not accidentally on a slower (/home) file system
  * the cache gets wiped when spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1 does.
  * no interference with a possible cache that the user privately might
 have in ecl

 So, what needs to be done is:

  * upgrade to ecl 10.4.1
  * patch Maxima to build with ecl 10.4.1
  * patch maxima's spkg-install with the above changes so that maxima.fasb
 gets built in the right place.
