This is good news, thanks.

ATM cmucl port works on some machines and fails on others. From INTALL:
ATM CMU CL port should be considered experimental, it received only
little testing. Also CMU CL seem to have problems on some machines.
The 'seem to have problems on some machines' means that build may
crash like above. Port was done by Anatoly Raportirenko and
for him it worked on a few different machines (both 32-bit and
64-bit). For me it failed on 64-bit machine, but worked in 32-bit
chroot. He also wrote that unicode cmucl have bug, so one have to
patch and rebuild it (I tried non-unicode version).

You should use '--with-lisp', it specifies command to used to run
Lisp compiler. Normally FriCAS should automatically detect which
of supported Lisp is in use. In the (very unlikely) case that
FriCAS can not correctly detect which implementation is in use
one can use '--with-lisp-flavor', but given that automatic detection
it will probably go away in the future.
