Looks exactly like what I had when I did the same thing on linux (x86 and 
amd64) and OS X 10.5.

It's all numerical and formatting noise. Upgrading maxim to 5.23.2 at the same 
time generated only one or two more broken tests (and of them was a good 
thing: maxima integrated something it couldn't before).
I posted something about it earlier with other potential upgrades:

Someone commented that ecl-11.1.1 had an horrible bug.
