Hi,

I'm getting a strange message from gcl
(GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.6.5 ANSI Nov 26 2004 08:52:13)

When compiling maxima gcl produces the folling warning:

Compiling /home/are/maxima/maxima/src/commac.lisp.
End of Pass 1.
; (DEFUN LISTIFY1) is being compiled.
;; Warning: Wrong number of args for LAST: 2 instead of 1.
End of Pass 2.
OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=0 (No runtime error checking), Space=0, Speed=3
Finished compiling binary-gcl/commac.o.

Why is that warning about the wrong number of args for LAST?
As far as I know last takes to argument.

I can reproduce it with a small example:

(defun test (l n) (last l n))

compiling that produces the same error message but the code seems to
work.

It all looks so strange to me.

Andreas
