No, no one has ported SBCL to any non-X86 processor yet. Doing the first such port will probably be a somewhat messy, since there are various incompatibilities between GENCGC (used on X86) and GENCGC (used everywhere else), and SBCL has only been built and tested with GENCGC. But I don't think it should be tricky -- with the working example of CMU CL and the working example of SBCL, no inspiration should be required. -- William Harold Newman <wil...@ai...> software consultant PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C |
