Sorry, I don't have much to say about the changes in 2.6.9, except for
one.  For the first time in years (literally), I can build gcl on my
(ancient) OpenSuSE box again. 

And it runs maxima just fine, except for one new failed test. But a
couple of tests on rounding of rationals to floats works.

Thanks for making this all work for me again.

I see that 2.6.9 has added (it seems) with-compilation-unit.  That's
nice.

I do have a couple of items on my wishlist: an implementation of
ensure-directories-exist and a better directory function (that
doesn't just call ls).

Thanks for getting this updated!
