Re: Compiling Maxima with GCL 2.7.2 pre-release results in empty executable

Hi Robert,

I tried the same thing today, with success, using the normal sequence of
commands: ./bootstrap, ./configure --enable-gcl and make, then I ran
./maxima-local and ran the test suite. 2 tests passed that were expected to
fail, no unexpected failures.
I used the GCL 2.7.1-17 pre-release branch.

Best regards
David
