I have been able to test clisp on 4.99.30 and 4.99.31 successfuly.
4.99.32 and further stops working with the same error reliably - I
configured a few VMWare machines from scratch to avoid any
interference and built the packages on these (as well as tested
previously built version of clisp).

Same question...

I have solved the maxima problem by switching the package to use sbcl
instead, that was no problem. However if one starts from scratch, one
couldn't build sbcl to begin with if there is no clisp... I happened
to have an earlier sbcl working and got the package updated to use
version 1.0.11...

Has anyone been able to run clisp on i386 since 4.99.32?
