Clasp is a new implementation of Lisp based on LLVM similar to the way
that ABCL is based on the Java VM.

https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp

I was interested to see whether Clasp could run fricas0 since one of
the selling points for Clasp is the ability to directly and easily
link with c++ libraries. Apparently Clasp can run maxima. See

https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/wiki/How-to-run-maxima-in-clasp

Building Clasp from source is quite time consuming so I ran Clasp
using the pre-compiled docker image:

But the result is an error when FriCAS tries to call an external
routine via FFI. I don't know much about this except that after a
quick search of the FriCAS mailing list suggests that a apparently
similar problem involving |writeablep was reported at one point with
ECL The resolution of the problem had something to do with implicit
declarations and external function calls.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?
