I am the Fedora maintainer of gcl.  I welcome input on how the gcl
package should be configured and built.

The *(.iplt) line didn't use to be present.  I found .iplt lines being
generated when I last built on Fedora Rawhide (soon to be F-12), and
fixed the problem there.  I didn't realize it had shown up in F-11 as
well.  I'll roll a new F-11 package with the iplt fix in it tomorrow.

No, that function takes Lisp formatting strings.  See o/error.c.  I
don't know why it didn't expand the ~s.
