Hello Dima:
You are going to have to enlighten me as to what the *.fas extension
means. I did a web search and could only find this page which did not
give me much information. I looked at Sages web page and did not see
anything. Here is what I did find:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/maxima-fas/
Concerning xmaxima.fas, it's built! Look:
$ cd /usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.46.0/
$ find . -type f -name "maxima.fas"
./maxima-5.46.0/src/binary-ecl/maxima.fas
there is a whole bunch of *.fas files in
/usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.46.0/maxima-5.46.0/src/binary-ecl/
I just have to figure out how to install them. I looked for configure
options but I did not see any. Lete me test the basic funcionality of
maxima (diff, integrate, taylor etc.). Most of those functions have to
be tested. Afterwards, I will look into isntalling the *.fas files in
/usr/local/lib/ecl/.

I suppose you are refering to Steel Bank Common Lisp:
http://www.sbcl.org/
I will have to ask about this on the Maxima mail list. Give me some
time. There is a port: /usr/ports/lang/sbcl
