Fortunately, Panagiotis Christopoulos has informed me that the overlay http://repo.or.cz/w/gentoo-lisp-overlay.git contains a gcl ebuild. I emerged it, and it works (and can build maxima). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
RESOLVED WONTFIX. This package is masked for many months. We may make an attempt to revive it, but not in the near future. You're free to reopen if you want. But as Marijn says: # Marijn Schouten <hkBst at gentoo dot org> (29 Jul 2009) # Masked for increasingly many problems. Upstream is flaky and hasn't released since 2005. # Maxima is the only consumer and can be built with sbcl or clisp. # Hopefully upstream will do a release that we can add to revive this package. dev-lisp/gcl
