As Gregory Vanuxem the problem appeared because gcl (more precisely
compiler::link) requires _developement_ versions of X libraries,
but the system contains only normal versions.

I would say that this is a bug in Ubutu gcl package.  AFAICS in
may version of Debian gcl description reads:

Package: gcl
Priority: optional
Section: interpreters
Installed-Size: 160052
Maintainer: Camm Maguire <address@hidden>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2.6.7-32
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libgmp3c2, libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libncurses5 (>= 5.
4-5), libreadline5 (>= 5.2), libsm6, libx11-6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxmu6, libxt
6, tcl8.4 (>= 8.4.5), tk8.4 (>= 8.4.5), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, gcc, deb
conf (>= 1.2.0)

Size: 33929666
MD5sum: 1846a63096382273dfd4cf7652d224c8

In particular there is no dependency on developement libraries, so
it is passible that current Debian have similar problem.
