Can I report that all the packages required to build gretl on a Raspberry Pi are available on the Raspbrian repository?  I compiled the git version of gretl (2019d of 2019-09-30) on a Raspberry Pi 2.  . (gcc-doc was not available but configure finished without it.)    Make was slow (> 1 hour).  Once installed, gretl loads fast and the responses to the few examples that I ran were also good.  Thus all the mathematical and other libraries required to compile gretl on ARM 7 are available in the Rasbrian repository.  The current Pi 4 should be much faster.

John, this is very interesting as I would have thought that Hélio was
correct. I guess the ARM hardware (CPU) platform has evolved quite a bit
recently, or else I don't understand how this would be possible.

Maybe this is also relevant (in the background):
