Hi,

Although lang/gcl has been marked broken for a long time, the port is
now working well.  It can actually operate math/maxima without errors
in its self-checking, at least on PRELEASE-7.1/i386.  Please find this
situation and delete the BROKEN variable in its Makefile.

  $FreeBSD: ports/lang/gcl/Makefile,v 1.43 2008/04/19 17:51:28 miwi Exp $

The following lines were usefull in early days of releng7

  .if ${OSVERSION} >= 700042
  BROKEN=              Gcl compiled with gcc42 dumps core
  .endif

but it looks too restrictive for now.  So, I'd like to recommend the
following altanative.

  .if ${OSVERSION} >= 700042 && ${OSVERSION} < 700108
  BROKEN=              Gcl compiled with gcc42 dumps core
  .endif

or these kind of condition can be deleted completely.

Than you
