well, this is a new theory - it might work :-)

What _I_ would do is make sure that things like TheRecord &c work
correctly (see lispbibl.d - the comments are in English, thanks to
Stefan Kain and Oliver Nee).

You would have to figure out what type_pointable() _is_ on your
platform, then what it _should_ be, and, finally, make sure these are
the same.

it does include lispbibl.d, which, in turn, includes all sorts of
stuff.

the fact remains - the CLISP works just fine with glibc2.0 (any CLISP
version of the last 3 years) but fails with glibc2.2 (again, any CLISP
version)

Stefan, could you please kindly expedite translating the spvw*.d files?
Thanks!
