Not. This is specific clisp-Maxima problem but its "discovery" was
inspired by your problem with gcl=Maxima. I've just tried this
expression
under clisp and run into the problem. And I'm sorry for
misspelling function name (thank Raymond for noticing this).
It is reads "special-form-p" and it must be replaced by ether
"ext:special-form-p" or better by "special-operator-p".
But once again its has nothing to do with gcl.

There is no configure stage for building Maxima under clisp.
You have to run
make clisp-compile CLISP=clisp
make maxima-clisp.mem CLISP=clisp
make test-clisp CLISP=clisp
But before doing this replace calls of the functions
gc and saveinitmem in the file in the src/clisp-compile.
by ext:gc and ext:saveinitmem.
