I checked out r541227 version of the port and tried building the maxima
port with poudriere 12.1 stable and it failed to build for me with the same
issue from bug #247805.  However, when building on my workstation outside
of poudriere with the latest version r541376 I was able to successfully
build and install maxima. I am not sure what the difference is and why it
fails at the staging phase when I use poudriere.  If anyone can add some
insight it is welcome.
