I'm having trouble building gcl-2.6.5 on Fedora Core 2 with the 
'--enable-ansi' option.  Without it, the build procedes to completion 
fine, but with it, dies in:

I went back to try to build gcl-2.6.4, and it dies too, in a different 
spot but with the same error.  (The wierd thing is... it built that way 
just fine about a month ago.)
