Here is a serie of patch to enhance computation that involves fraction integer.
Do
<pre>
download gcl source, decompress this archive apply gcl.patch (this patch come 
from gcl-2.6.5 but can probably be applied on 2.6.6).
recompress gcl, copy it to zips directory  (keep the same name)
remove gcldir and gcl-2.6.* in lsp directory
patch the interpreter with interp.patch. (change behavior of coercion of 
fraction(integer))
patch fraction.spad.pamphlet (handle fraction(integer) as integer i.e by gcl)
remove mnt/linux/algebra/FRAC.o, int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.o and 
int/algebra/FRAC.spad
type make
remove mnt/linux/algebra/FRAC.o, int/algebra/FRAC.NRLIB/code.o and 
int/algebra/FRAC.spad
type touch src/algebra/fraction.spad.pamphlet or open it in an editor and 
resave it
type make
Have fun
</pre>

This involve one patch (gcl.patch) backported from gcl-2.7.0-cvs. It 's a 
request made for use algorithm from libgmp in cancellation of
gcd in fraction.
