Bill,

GCL-2.6.8pre2 is an Axiom internal version number. 
It contains fixes to GCL that Camm made for Axiom.
It differs from GCL-2.6.8pre because of these fixes.

Gold zips include GCL-2.6.7, GCL-2.6.8pre, and GCL-2.6.8pre2 tgz files
and their associated patches. Since GCL-2.6.8pre has been the working
version for so long there have been intermediate fixes of interest.
Each cached version is a "known good" snapshot for building Axiom.

Axiom should build properly (albeit lacking fixes) by setting
GCLVERSION to any one of the three choices. As Axiom steps up to
the next version of GCL the prior working version is in the cache.
This allows A-B testing of Axiom and failure recovery. Older versions
are removed from the cache but their associated axiom-only patch 
files are retained.
