The two bugs, this one and bug 303587, are fixed by a fix of gcl.
It seemed you were fixing maxima by fixing gcl, so I took the liberty of
assigning you to this one as well.

I suggest upgrading to debian version 2.6.7-56 (put on unstable today), it
compiles on my computer (version 2.6.7-53 didn't compile because of sbrk check).
Version 2.6.7-56 has urgency=high.
** Tags added: upgrade
** Changed in: gcl (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) = Ilya Barygin
Please sync gcl 2.6.7-56 (universe) from Debian unstable (main). This
new version fixes FTBFS. It also solves a serious problem with maxima
(bug 303587).
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
* Set RELOC to locbfd, fix FTBFS on many architectures.
This version is verified
Converted to sync request.
** Summary changed:
- Fails to build because of randomized sbrk.

To make it more clear.
I believe this is a critical bug because, gcl version 2.6.7-45ubuntu1 does not
work as seen in bug #303587.

Bugs,
I believe bug #303587 is related to this problem.
Since doing - run sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0 before using gcl is a
workaround for that bug.
From http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/INSTALL.txt
- Older version of gcl are incompatible with Fedora exec-shield and
strong address space
