I tried defsystem 3.6i from clocc with gcl 2.6.7.  maxima can be built
using gcl and this defsystem.  I would appreciate it if some other gcl
user could verify this.  (My builds of gcl are always kind of weird,
because I have to manually modify a lot of the build files.)

If it goes well, I'm inclined to use defsystem 3.6i.  We will,
unfortunately, lose the changes for SCL.
