That is a good question. Yes, probably SBCL is better. SBCL does seem to work for me. GCL might be more or less dead but it seems that it is still the default lisp for FriCAS. Maybe ECL would be a good replacement for GCL since ECL is derived from the same base code and appears to have a very active developer. And the Sage project is now using ECL to support Maxima. I am sure that the Aldor-interface used to build with GCL. But rather than invest time to continue to support it maybe it would be better to try to make sure that the Aldor interface will build with ECL.
