Thank _you_!

Are you planning to do a port of the PSL version as well? I know that it works - 
I have it running in FreeBSD 8.2 (32 and 64 bit versions).

The only drawback right now is that one must either use the precompiled Lisp 
binaries or use the proper version of gcc for building. (The main problem here 
is the code generation for the kernel which goes

 Lisp -> Lisp compiler with assembler code generation backend -> Assembler Code -> Assembler -> binaries

and needs the "right" assembler code generation backend for the assembler being 
used.)
