GNU Common Lisp (GCL) is the GNU Project's Common Lisp compiler, an evolutionary development of Kyoto Common Lisp. It produces native object code by first generating C code and then calling a C compiler.
Although it does not yet fully comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Common Lisp specification, GCL is the implementation of choice for several large projects including the mathematical tools Maxima, AXIOM and ACL2. GCL runs under eleven different architectures on Linux, and under FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOSX, and Microsoft Windows.
The latest stable releases of GCL are 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 as of 8/23/2013.[1] Source code and windows installers can be found at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcl.
