Great! Please keep me posted as I'd like to see how this builds in
Debian before releasing a new GCL.

One can fix this with a CFLAGS setting if I recall, but the issue is
fixed in git.

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gcl.git
cd gcl/gcl
git checkout Version_2_6_13pre

Please let me know if problems persist.

Take care,
