I think I tracked down the problem. In build-improvements, on the Mac, 
the configure for gcl was being called with a broken --enable-machine 
flag, and the subsequent make would fail.

I think this patch to configure.ac.pamphlet fixes it.

I also incorporated other suggested changes to the configure flags:

1) we should use locbfd instead of custreloc

2) we don't need X Window system support or xgcl

With these changes a full build of noweb, gcl and axiom work on my 
PowerPC Mac OS X 10.4.8 machine with the following steps:

# remove fink /sw/bin from the path
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
./configure --without-noweb --without-gcl
make
