Good work!

I don't have access to a mac right now, but I can confirm that the
following commands build Axiom just fine on axiom-developer.org
with both noweb and gcl pre-installed:

$ svn co
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements \
         axiom.build-improvements

$ mkdir axiom-build

$ cd axiom-build

$ ../axiom.build-improvements/configure

$ more config.log

Maybe we should set the option to eliminate the GCL banner?

I note that the GCLOPTS shown above do not correctly reflect the
fact that gcl was pre-built with different options.

Thanks for your work on this!
