Re: Using CLISP instead of CCL to bootstrap SBCL

Hmmm, after some reading it seems that CMUCL suffers from the same issue as CCL: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/wikis/InstallingCmucl I'd need to test to make sure though. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Using CLISP instead of CCL to bootstrap SBCL

Hi Pierre, I just noticed that last November, you changed our SBCL package to use CCL for bootstrapping. Previously, it used CLISP. commit 4bddcae94bb9d19112354f8f0b93f6e381e67768 Author: Pierre Neidhardt Date: Sat Nov 24 18:33:55 2018 +0100 gnu: sbcl: Update to 1.4.13.
