Perhaps gcl's defstruct doesn't support print-object?  I know cmucl
had this problem long ago.  The most portable way is to specify a
:print-function.  I guess as a bonus, this allows you to print an
abbreviated form if the current print depth is too deep.  I don't
think you get with :print-object.
