[cffi-devel] Re: Good news on the Corman Lisp front, and other changes

Building cffi-tests on Corman Lisp 2.51 I get:

I would try debugging this, but I am wondering if I am missing a version 
somewhere. Corman 2.51 looks to be the latest, but should I download 
again? Or does this look like an error that has been fixed? Maybe the 
latest changes are not in the latest tarball?
