AFAIK the problem is that the Debian packages with GCL are built without ANSI
flags. Building GCL from the sources may be annoying (it seems that some
times ago its automake stuff was broken). In Debian, I'm using CLISP; also,
there are a package for CMUCL (I haven't tried it though).
GCL is not actively developed now, in contrast of CLISP or SBCL.
