The current pre-alpha of ubuntu ships with gcl 2.6.12-53...

...and the following commands seem to compile maxima with gcl:

> ./configure --enable-gcl
> make -j 1

What doesn't work:

> ./configure --enable-gcl --enable-sbcl --enable-ecl
> make -j 4
> make[1]: Entering directory '/home/gunter/src/maxima-code/src'
> gcl -batch -eval '(progn (load "../lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp") (load

"sys-proclaim.lisp") "gcl-depends.mk") )'

That would mean that the problem might lay somewhere in our build system.
