Ok, I rebuilt from scratch on my Fedora 40 system.  I basically just did:

```

$ autoreconf

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/dev/gcl-2.7.1

$ make

```

I am not using hugepages that I know of; I'm using whatever the Fedora 
40 default is.

After building and installing, I did `export GCL_ANSI=yes`  and ran 
`make` to build maxima.  Tests basically works except for the couple of 
failures I mentioned earlier.

We need to add `GCL_ANSI=yes` (or whatever value) to the maxima script 
so that we get the ANSI build.
