Comment(by was):

 There is definitely a problem.  I tried rebuilding with the new maxima and
 ecl packages (in sage-4.5.alpha4) and had a huge number of failures.
 Building the same sage-4.5.alpha4, but with the older maxima and ecl
 packages entirely fixes the problem.

 That could be.  If true, it definitely means that we have a serious bug in
 Sage -- not our filesystem.    Here's my build setup:

    * I make a symlink:   /home/wstein/build -> /scratch/wstein/build
    * I build in /home/wstein/build.
