[Axiom-developer] GCL on an AMD64 Linux system?

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

Is there some reason the GCL in Axiom shouldn't build on a 64-bit Linux
system (gcc 4.2.0)? I've got three systems. Two are 32-bit and one is
64-bit. Both gold and silver build fine on the 32-bit ones, but both
crash building GCL on the 64-bit system. Here's a trace ("silver", if it
matters):

P.S.: The native GCL that comes with the system (Gentoo Linux) is 2.6.7
and installs fine.
