[Axiom-developer] GCL 2.5 and XDR

[root]

Camm,

As you know we've been having discussions about using GCL 2.5
rather than GCL 2.4.1.

I set out to integrate GCL 2.5 into the system build and ran into 
a problem with GCL. We need the XDR functions and they are part
of the GCL 2.4.1 and GCL 2.5 distributions. However, if I enable
them in GCL 2.5 I get the following failures:

gcc -c -Wall -DVOL=volatile -fsigned-char -fwritable-strings -pipe -O6 
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/home/axiomgnu/new/lsp/gcl-2.5/o -I../h -I../gcl-tk 
funlink.c
