Sync gcl 2.6.7-56 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

[Rune Philosof]

Please sync gcl 2.6.7-56 (universe) from Debian testing (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 to build on i386 and amd64:

[Rune Philosof (olberd)]

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 randomization (setting randomize_va_space to 2).
  Newest CVS version of 2.6.8 branch of gcl fixes this problem.

So updating to the newest cvs version might fix this, but that is probably not the best way to fix this.

[Rune Philosof (olberd)]

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.

[Rune Philosof (olberd)]

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.

[Rune Philosof (olberd)]

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.

Let's use another bug for gclcvs.
