Issues with CLISP on Debian (Jessie) and Arch

[Barry F. <bar...@ac...>]

The CLISP package has been withdrawn due to pending issues in Debian
test for some time.  Is anyone working on getting it back.

I found the Arch repository version doesn't supports '(require "linux")'.

I built it from scratch on Arch GNU/Linux x86_64.  At a run time, it
gave me on the '(require "linux")' a message that 'rpl_ioctl' was not
found during the dynamic load.  This seems to be a result of the code in
src/gllib/sys_ioctl.in.h at line 47:

#if @GNULIB_IOCTL@
# if @REPLACE_IOCTL@
#  if !(defined __cplusplus && defined GNULIB_NAMESPACE)
#   undef ioctl
#   define ioctl rpl_ioctl
#  endif

and both @GNULIB_IOCTL@ and @REPLACE_IOCTL@ being set to 1.  I assume
the matching ioctl.c was included in the link, but I didn't see a reason
why the normal ioctl should not be used.

When I disabled that code, the linux plugin seemed to work fine.
