Greetings!

I believe the issue here is that the collectfn.o module has been
stripped.  GCL appends initialization data to its compiled object
modules by default -- if missing, then .data files are sought.  GCL
itself installs the .o file alone, and typically package installers
run strip on such objects unless instructed to do otherwise.

The weird path results from the si::*load-path* order:

>si::*load-path*

("/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/xgcl-2/" "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/lsp/"
 "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/gcl-tk/" "/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/cmpnew/")


This is harmless, AFAICT.

Take care,
