Closed issue by tornaria on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34861 Description: ``` $ maxima -l ecll ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib32/ecl-21.2.1/sb-bsd-sockets.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib32/ecl-21.2.1/sockets.fas" Maxima 5.45.1 https://maxima.sourceforge.io using Lisp ECL 21.2.1 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) :lisp (ext:set-limit 'ext:heap-size 0) 0 (%i1) a : 10^(10^5) $ b : a^600 $ c : a^600 $ Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS Aborted ``` The first line sets `heap-size` to `0` meaning "no limit" (according to https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/static/manual/Memory-Management.html#ext_003astorage_002dexhausted). The same using maxima as compiled by sage works. The main difference between the two is that void's template sets `nopie=yes` , and a quick experiment seems to indicate that compiling pie will fix the issue. The `nopie=yes` was set by https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/21173c2ce02bc9588b2de678ed1838882a8d0f1a but there is no explanation of the reason. @leahneukirchen do you remember?
