Great to hear all is working for you! Just to clarify, if you are
building your own GCL, you do not need any GCL_ANSI environment
variable, just the --enable-ansi switch to configure. The former is
for Debian packages, which includes both ansi and cltl1 images, using
the environment variable to select which to execute at runtime.
Take care,
