It not only breaks Maxima build but in addition new loop.lisp does
not work as expected. Try

(loop for s being the external-symbols of "COMMON-LISP" collect s)

I'm not sure but maybe the problem is that new loop.lsp (former 
loop2.lsp in ecls) now creates extra package ANSI-LOOP
while old loop was in SI package. In addition we probably need to
export some symbols explicitly (loop and loop-finish as far as I 
understand). I'm trying to understand what is going on but so far I'm
lost in GCL compilation intricacies. I also experince problems with
"There are no CONDITIONS ..." error and probably I've realized it's 
origin. Having varios GCL building stages - raw_gcl, saved_gcl,
saved_gcl (+pcl), saved_gcl (+pcl+conditions) make a lot of
confusion.  If we compile loop.lsp with full saved_gcl+pcl+conditions 
when some data on CONDITIONS package is saved in loop.data.
So later when loop.data is loaded when raw_gcl makes saved_gcl
the new image can't be created and save complains about missing CONDITIONS.

Best wishes,
