Haha. It turns out that this is one of the symptoms you can get if you
run out of space on the partition you're dumping sbcl to... arguably we
should do some more error checking in save.c (or convert the calls to
putw() to calls to fwrite(), and then do some more error checking...)

This one's still baffling me... changing the DEFMACRO to SB!XC:DEFMACRO
gets you to make-host-2, when, while compiling src/compiler/assem.lisp,
it complains that #S(SB!KERNEL:LEXENV ...) is not a (OR NULL C::LEXENV)
[ compiling with CMUCL ].

Cheers,
