The FriCAS people have some recommended way to build gcl - see

- Older version of gcl are incompatible with Fedora "exec-shield" and
strong addess space randomization (setting randomize_va_space to 2).
Newest CVS version of 2.6.8 branch of gcl fixes this problem.
- gcl needs bfd library. Many Linux systems include version of bfd
library which is incompatible with gcl. Using the following configure
line should fix this problem:
./configure --disable-xgcl --disable-dynsysbfd --disable-statsysbfd
--enable-locbfd
