Greetings, and thanks for your interest in gcl!

This represents a failure of configure to determine your emacs
site-lisp directory.  You should see an earlier failure prior to this
in the log.  Our configure script needs to be robustified, and to
this end, it would be nice to know what software you have/do not have
installed on your machine.  Right now, readline and bfd are the only
confirmed *optional* software packages which configure is known to
detect and handle correctly.  Other than this, configure pretty much
expects to find the following software installed, even if it is not
yet able to complain clearly enough when something is missing:

Build-Depends: debhelper, gcc-3.2 [hppa ia64 arm],  emacsen, libreadline4-dev, 
m4, tk8.3-dev, tetex-bin, texinfo, binutils-dev, texi2html, autoconf, automake, 
gettext, libgmp3-dev, autotools-dev

My first suggestion would be to install these packages on your system,
and see if you can get a working build.  Thereafter, it would help us
if you could remove some, and tell us what breaks.  We may be able to
have configure handle some removals transparently.

This seems to indicate that your gmp subbuild did not complete
correctly.  I'd need to see the full configure and make output to be
definitive.

Take care,
