Re: [Gcl-devel] Can't compile latest GCL on Ubuntu 14.04

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for your patience!  I have not forgotten about
you!

I've committed basically Will's dis-asm reordering patch to master to
(hopefully) fix your immediate problem.

Please be aware that 2.6.11 is not yet merged into master, and I do not
feel comfortable working extensively on it until this is done.

2.6.11 has revealed an ACL2_HONS improvement which I am chasing at the
moment.  When this is finished, then merge 2.6.11, then proceed with
master.  I hope this is OK.

Take care,
