Agreed. I just commented out that part of defsystem.  Had to make a few
other minor tweaks, but maxima still builds with gcl.  I don't see anything
bad happening and the testsuite still passes (gcl Version_2_7_2pre15).

There may have been a increase in testsuite time from 82 sec to 90, but not
clear;  Other things may be been running at the time and we know the times
do vary a bit between runs.

Overall, I think this is a good  change.  (Oh, I left the optimize thing
in.  Something for another day.)
