Great, thanks. With that (and myriad other small fixes), I'm able to
build raw_gcl and get it loading other packages. It appears to be
unable to save itself, though:

This leaves me with an empty saved_gcl. AFAICT the magic number error
is at (system:save-system).

Any idea what might be causing this?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you're referring to getting GCL
into the ports collections of the various BSDs, I'm willing to look
into that. FreeBSD already has it, but no-one's maintaining the port
at the moment.
