Hi Mark, First of all, thanks for your interest in Next! :)
If you look at the sbcl package, you'll see this comment which I copy-pasted from SBCL "INSTALL" file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; From INSTALL: ;; Supported build hosts are: ;; SBCL ;; CMUCL ;; CCL (formerly known as OpenMCL) ;; ABCL (recent versions only) ;; CLISP (only some versions: 2.44.1 is OK, 2.47 is not) ;; XCL --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The point was 2-fold: - CLISP seems unreliable. - SBCL takes ages to compile with it :p (I know, this is mostly practical.) We can ask the SBCL developers to let us know if they think CLISP can be re-approved, but as far as I understand, it's mostly untested. Another solution would be to bootstrap SBCL or CCL differently. I haven't looked into the details, but there may be some older version of CCL or SBCL that could be build from C or CLISP reliably, then use those versions to build the latest CCL and SBCL. I can look into maybe later next week (no promise, September is going to be tight for me). Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
