i don't really know, it would seem that the macro expanders are losing 
the flet'd function check-required. you could try putting the 
def-special-enviroment form in another file, compiled and loaded before 
walk.lisp.

btw, what does this return:

(flet ((a () 4))
   (defmacro b () (a)))

(b)

p.s. - arnesi 1.1.2 contains a new cps transformer (if that's what 
you're interested in) which, among other things, doesn't use 
def-special-enviroment, is faster and can handle more of comman lisp 
(in particular its handling of declarations is much improved).
