Re: Maxima works with gcl 2.7.1

I'm also happy to report that Maxima runs significantly faster under GCL
2.7.1 compared to 2.6.14, at least judging by the test suite. Its runtime
is reduced by almost 30%. Great job, Came!

By the way, there was no difference in performance between 1 GiB hugepages
with --enable-min-pagesize=21 and 2 MiB hugepages without any extra options.

I haven't measured, but compilation feels slower with 2.7.1. (That's OK
with me, if the resulting program runs that faster.)

Best regards
