As of today, when you say that, Axiom will look the build environment
to see whether GCL is present and try to use it.

I should probably put a version cut of on it -- say GCL 2.6.7.

But, even with that, there is a bug in GCL that needs to be fixed:
currently it does not seemt to the set the -I include directory switch
so that GCC can find its internal include file.

I'll try to work around that by modifying *CC*.

Normaly, the message output by configure on the standard output should
tell you that Axiom will use the installed GCL.  You should have seen
something like

    checking for gcl... gcl

Say 

  ./configure --without-gcl

to force Axiom to build its own copy of GCL.
