should be fixed now in HEAD and 2.6.1 cvs

Should be fixed now in HEAD and 2.6.1 cvs.  init_or_load1 is not
really part of the exported GCL API, and so I wouldn't expect this to
break much.  Please let me know if you encounter other such
instances.  We definitely need to not use init_xxxx global function
names, though, as the compiler can write these when system-p is set to
t.  We ran into this when packaging axiom, and changed all the
non-lisp init_xxx function names to gcl_init_xxxx.

Take care,
