Summary: Solaris 10/Sparc: control characters in FAS files

Initial Comment:
Building clisp from cvs (including a checkout from 17. Feb. 2010) fails to build on my solaris boxes with the following message:

mv lispimag.mem interpreted.mem
./lisp.run -B . -N locale -E UTF-8 -Epathname 1:1 -Emisc 1:1 -norc -m
2MW -M interpreted.mem -q -c compiler.lisp -o ./

Message:
1. In short, there seems to be an error related to numbers: this is the
output:
[,,]> (1)

*** - EVAL:  is not a function name; try using a symbol instead
The following restarts are available:
USE-VALUE      :R       Input a value to be used instead.
ABORT          :R       Abort main loop
Break  [,,]> abort
[,,]> |42|

*** - SYSTEM::READ-EVAL-PRINT: variable |42| has no value
The following restarts are available:
USE-VALUE      :R       Input a value to be used instead of |42|.
STORE-VALUE    :R       Input a new value for |42|.
ABORT          :R       Abort main loop
Break  [,,]> abort
[,,]> (+ 1 1)

[,,]> 42

So both giving numbers on the command line and doing calculations don't
return anything.

2. I'm currently having other difficulties compiling clisp. I'll post them
to the list because they are related to gllib, which probably means that
they aren't related to this problem.

Message:
the first 4 lines of compiler.fas show the problem:

(|SYSTEM|::|VERSION| '(.))
#0Y_ #0Y |CHARSET|::|UTF-8|
#Y(#:|  (IN-PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP")-|
   #ººY(00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 01 DA 31 F6 0F 01 19 01)

instead of decimal digits we see either ^W (#\Etb, #\Code23) - inside ||
and ()
or #\MASCULINE_ORDINAL_INDICATOR (#\Code186) - between # and Y.
now, the question is - why.

1. please try to reproduce this interactively:
$ ./lisp.run -M interpreted.mem -norc
do you see a "[1]>" prompt or do you see something weird between []?
what do you see when you type "42" and hit return?
how about |42|? (42)?

2. please try to rebuild clisp with debugging symbols (either configure
with "./configure --with-debug --cbc build-g" or
edit Makefile to replace "-O" with "-g" in CFLAGS and then do "make clean;
make").
