Start GCL and you'll se something like this
==========================================================
GCL (GNU Common Lisp)  2.6.4 ANSI    Aug  7 2004 20:36:36
                              ^^^^
Source License: LGPL(gcl,gmp), GPL(unexec,bfd)
Binary License:  GPL due to GPL'ed components: (UNEXEC)
Modifications of this banner must retain notice of a compatible license
Dedicated to the memory of W. Schelter
==========================================================
GCL flawor is in the very first line right after
version number - it is ANSI or CLtL1.

Reinstall GCL with --enable-ansi.

Best wishes,
