Pending a full audit, I believe that with the current patchset against
silver there is no trampling on GCL functions or symbols.  Between
compiler:link and exported syms there is no reason, as far as I can
tell, for Axiom to insist on trying to manage GCL internals or patch.

We can always work towards enriching exported interfaces if needed in
the future.
