toploop.patch is not necessary since the banner is stored in a
modifiable system variable called 'si::*system-banner*' and set
as desired. E.g.
(setq si::*system-banner* "")
(si:save-system "gcl-nobanner")

Let me take this opportunity to raise again the question of
whether it still makes sense to store the gcl source as a
tarball in the axiom source tree. If we are going to keep a
copy of gcl around just in case we have to build it in order
to install axiom, then why don't we just make it a real part
of the axiom source tree. Why zip it? This just makes things
more complicated than it needs to be (and makes some people
at Google nervous :-).
