I think it best to ask on the gcl mailing lists for how to compile gcl. 
I have compiled gcl and I always have problems.  Perhaps there's another
place to get a binary distribution?

But unless you really need gcl, feel free to use some other lisp that
might be available.  Any of the following should work with maxima just
fine:  ccl, clisp, cmucl, ecl, sbcl.
