gcl-alt-link build is broken in Maxima cvs.
This happened in May when defsystem was upgraded.
Initially this upgrade broke even traditional gcl build
which was rapidly fixed - but not so for alternative method.
If I add missing to current Maxima CVS defsystem
          #+gcl :system-p #+gcl t
situation improves a bit. With this fix Maxima
builds with --enable-gcl-alt-link but doesn't want
to run.  It is not clear to me yet what piece is
missing now.
