I haven't built gcl in quite some time. I did succeed about a year ago,
with some hacking on Solaris machine. the same hacks were not enough to
get gcl built on a Linux machine (!). At that point, I gave up.
Since ccl works nicely on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX (which probably
covers 99% of all maxima users), I think that would be a candidate. And
ccl has commercial support, which is a bonus for those who might need
it. And it's open source for those who want to hack on it.
