Okay, good to know.

That is the $64.000 dollar question. William got clisp to work on
Linux/Itanium by disabling optimization. He told me a little while
earlier that he went with clisp because it seemed to be the most
viable open source build from scratch lisp system. GSL seemed kind of
dead (last official release 2.6.6. in 2005 according to the gnu
homepage)
But: We just had a look around and there is a 2.6.8pre GSL release as
well as a 2.7.0cvs development branch. My guess is that there can be
only one lisp system in SAGE and it has to work on OSX, Linux x86,
x86-64, PPC, Itanium and Solaris 32/64. I cannot tell you which one
that will be.
Cheers,
Michael
