[Axiom-developer] gcl-2.6.8pre on Debian unstable

[Waldek Hebisch]

I just re-tried using gcl-2.6.8 on Debian unstable.  Previously
build died when making BSD (due to 'msgfmt').  I wanted to test
'--disable-nls' option, but this time build failed much earlier,
already gcl configure barfed:

....
# Subconfigure of BFD done
# ------------------------
#
checking for long... yes
checking size of long... 8
checking sizeof struct contblock... Cannot find sizeof struct contblock
checking build system type... make[1]: *** 
[/home/s/test/tt/axiom5/ax-build3/build/x86_64-unknown-linux/bin/gcl] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/s/test/tt/axiom5/ax-build3/lsp'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
....

The machine was not updated for long time, so this may be due to
machine misconfiguration...
