Sure, the first problem is that gcl complains that the package
user is undefined; if I add (defpackage :user), then compilation proceeds
until I get
; - Compiling module "declarations"
; - Loading binary file "binary-gcl/lmdcls.o"
;; Loading binary-gcl/lmdcls.o
check_type_symbol is undefined
Since there is a line in the lmdcls.lisp which looks like it does define
check_type_symbol, I'm lost.
gcl is compiled with --enable-ansi.
