I have tried to compile it too, and I got just as far as you. I couldn't find a working LISP compiler... One of the compilers I tried (I think it was gcl*) even required itself for compilation, very strange.
I've also tried to install a binary package from packages.debian.org (arm), with no success so far: Installation of the gcl package works, but compiling maxima fails:
Code:
configure: error: The gcl executable "gcl" was not compiled with
the --enable-ansi flag, which is required for Maxima.
The gcl ANSI-CL check returned
"MAXIMA_GCL_ANSI_TEST_FAILURE".
I then tried to recompile the gcl sources, and configure didn't complain about a wrong gcc version anymore. But it didn't work out, I had problems with some libraries gcl depends on...
I think this is the right way (1. get a precompiled LISP package, 2. compile maxima, 3. throw LISP away
). Maybe you have more luck...

EDIT It was the cmucl compiler:

In order to build CMU CL, you will need:
a) A working CMU CL binary. There is no way around this requirement!
