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.
