Here is a recipe that seems to work for me and avoids reference
to fink or other non-gcl related libraries:

 $ export
LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/b/bi/billpage/osx/new/gcl-2.6.8pre/binutils/int
l
 $ make clean
 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-locbfd --disable-statsysbfd
 $ make
 $ make install

I have a new batch of Axiom cooking with this version of gcl.

Note: It seems to be necessary to specify the --endable-locfd option
to ensure that the bfd internal to gcl is configured with internal
gettext.

Too bad. :-( There are some options that affect gcl's use of gmp.
See ./configure --help  You might try:

  --disable-dynsysgmp

I have also Cc: Camm Maquire, the primary GCL developer who might
have some other suggestions for your Mac Intel platform.

Thanks.
