I use the same setup.  Gentoo with 2.6.12 kernel, SBCL & Slime (see
below).  Note the +threads flag for emerging sbcl.

Here's the emerge pretend of the two packages:


>> emerge -pv sbcl


These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies  ...done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-lisp/sbcl-0.9.4 [0.9.3] -hardened -ldb -nosource
+threads -unicode 2,658 kB

Total size of downloads: 2,658 kB

>> emerge -pv slime


These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies  ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-emacs/slime-1.2.1.20050804  -doc 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB



Also, in my /etc/make.conf file, I have both threads and nptl as flags.

I'm using mod_lisp as a backend, so in start.lisp, I have that uncommented.

Hopefully some of this info helps.
