What is 'GCL-2.6.8pre2'? I cannot find this tag in the gcl cvs. Did
you really mean 'GCL-2.6.8pre'?

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gcl/?root=gcl

I believe that gcl-2.6.8pre is still officially unreleased and subject
to change. Shouldn't this (finally!) be frozen as release 'gcl-2.6.8'
before building an official release of Axiom on it?

In the case of Debian isn't the policy that Axiom must be built using
only a separately released version of gcl as a dependency? I think
'gcl-2.6.7' is still the official release on Debian, right?
