[Gcl-devel] gcl 2.6.7 - broken make install

[Vadim V. Zhytnikov]

Hi!

I've noticed some quite nasty thing about
gcl 2.6.7 ansi build.  After make install main
executable saved_ansi_gcl is partially broken.
"Partially" because the problems is not so easy
to see.  This gcl builds Maxima, passes all tests -
everything seems to be OK.  The problem is that
lisp error-debugger loop is broken.  It is enough
to type unbound variable to see some weird
message instead of usual lisp debugger prompt.

The problem is caused by erroneous (reset-sys-paths)
executed during make install.  Patch which fixes
the trouble is attached.  I'm a bit surprised.
Why the bug didn't show up with gcl 2.6.6 and earlier?
