[about using GCL on Open/Free BSD]
Does anyone here know the status of GCL? I remember looking at it a
few years ago and deciding that it was completely unsupported and that
no one was using it. But I've seen a few messages about it recently,
so I'm left wondering. Is it back under active development? Is it
closer to ANSI than it was?

It still exists, but its main purpose seems to be to compile the Maxima
symbolic computation package. See http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/wfs/maxima.html
