I'm not completetely sure of what you mean by the last
sentence. Building with clisp as the host is not recommended. It works
some times, but most of the time something gets miscompiled (either
due to a clisp or SBCL bug), which causes a failure pretty much like
the one you describe. But are you saying that the same thing happens
when you're using SBCL as the host compiler?
