Thanks for reply.  The registration has done.  I would send directly
you my account information later.

GCL has its own entry in FreeBSD ports already:
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/lang/gcl/pkg-descr
But it has been marked as `broken' for 5 months:
  http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/gcl/Makefile?annotate=1.20
The maintainer of this port is Tim Pierce <address@hidden>.  I found 
his message in gcl-devel archive, e.g., 
  http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/gcl-devel/2002-March/000356.html

Before we would notify him, I'd like to add minor changes:

  * configure.in
     to detect dlopen() w/o -ldl (FreeBSD's dlopen() is in libc)
  * FreeBSD.h
     to adapt to Linux macros handling ELF. 


Cheers,
