Please check whether the use of 'einstall' in this ebuild is actually needed. From a quick glance at the Makefile, it seems to have proper support for DESTDIR. Therefore, if possible please replace the call to 'einstall' with proper 'default' or 'emake DESTDIR="${D}" install'. Thanks.
And I can confirm that 'emake DESTDIR=${D} install' installs maxima just fine. However, emacs lisp files move from /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp to /usr/share/maxima/5.34.0/emacs. I don't know if that's a problem, i.e. if we're always supposed to use the canonical path or if there's some kind of lisppath that maxima updates for its non-standard location. If it is necessary, 'emake DESTDIR=${D} emacsdir=... install' can be used instead of einstall.

Yes, it is a problem. Our policy is that elisp files are always installed in ${SITELISP}/${PN} because Emacs will find them there, even without any additional configuration for its load-path. > If it is necessary, 'emake DESTDIR=${D} emacsdir=... install' can be used > instead of einstall. Please do.
I've replaced the einstall line by emake DESTDIR="${D}" emacsdir="${SITELISP}/${PN}" install Everything's installed correctly on amd64 and x86. Will tthis break something in prefix arches? The old einstall line contained emacsdir="${ED}${SITELISP}/${PN}", and ${ED} is something prefix-specific. I have no access to such arches, and cannot test myself. maxima is keyworded, in particular, ~amd64-linux ~x86-linux ~ppc-macos ~x86-macos.

As suggested here http://forums.gentoo.org/posting.php?mode=reply&t=1006910&sid=37a0cb36a9e9f272a6bb72a8a4fe3155 I tested the following on Mac OS 10.10 prefix=/gentoo for maxima-5.35.1-r1.ebuild using a local overlay. (~x64-macos) Replacing (line 156): emake DESTDIR="${D}" emacsdir="${SITELISP}/${PN}" install With: emake DESTDIR="${D}" emacsdir="${EPREFIX}/${SITELISP}/${PN}" install Doing this the compiling and installation works fine. Best regards.
5.34.0 is no longer in the tree, newer versions are fixed.
