This is a good bit of advice -- one thing I was missing was that I've
been trying to use the included configure script, instead of
regenerating it using autoconf. Running autoconf definitely improved
things.

libmatlisp.so does get built now -- but SBCL is unable to load it:

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR:
  Error opening shared object "/Users/jwr/lisp/matlisp/lib/libmatlisp.so":
  dlopen(3) failed.

[10:40] tnuctip:/Users/jwr>file /Users/jwr/lisp/matlisp/lib/libmatlisp.so
/Users/jwr/lisp/matlisp/lib/libmatlisp.so: Mach-O bundle i386
[10:40] tnuctip:/Users/jwr>

I thought SBCL did support loading shared objects on Mac OS X?

AllegroCL seems to load the same library just fine.
