Good.

I think these are both symptoms of the gcl configure picking up packages
from fink (/sw/bin, /sw/lib, ...) and having the compile break.

You don't need that anymore if you patch, as we won't use libintl anymore.

I manipulated my PATH to remove /sw/bin and similar, so gcl's configure
doesn't see the fink tcl/Tk, I think you can pass some kind of configure
option to gcl to do the same thing, but I kept having wierd problems
until I changed the PATH.

In any case, I used fink's latex and pdflatex for the gcl documentation
build, so you could try something like:

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin
./configure --enable-locbfd --disable-statsysbfd --disable-nls

all on one line. Good luck.
