What do you mean by stable commit? A commit from the upstream libgap
repo? If it's the former, you can use the last commit from the repo,
6f4bb7e8ff84beb86afebd38305ee3df77cb75e6.

Since the package uses autoreconf, it's enough to apply the commit
c43e89d489bbdb0e72deb889a7982f228f80ecfa
to create a libgap 4.8.4.

With gap and libgap 4.8.4, I got +40 failed tests and +8 timed out
processes during testing:
