Hmmm...

Did you checkout build-improvements directly to your
windows system. What revision do you have?

I have

$ svn info
Path: .
URL:
https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements
Repository Root: https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom

----

Are you doing an "out-of-source" build? E.g. If

  /e/build-improvements

is your build-improvements source checked out from svn,
then building out-of-source would look like this:

  $ mkdir /e/axiom
  $ cd /e/axiom
  $ ../build-improvements/configure
  $ make

Could you please try the following:

  $ cd/e/axiom/gcl
  $ make clean
  $ ./configure
  $ make

Do you get the same error? If this works you can do

  $ make install

that will install gcl in the '/usr/local/bin'. If

  $ echo $PATH

shows '/usr/local/bin' in the path, then build-improvements
will use that.

On my system I used the above procedure to put gcl in
/usr/local/bin because I am also working with wh-sandbox
which does not include even gcl.
