Disclosure: this is well into the realm of deep magic for me.  =)

I'd love to recompile, but I can't find a host CL to build SBCL with.
The stable package build-depends on sbcl, which of course can't work.
Stable's clisp segfaults on installation, too.  Both the Debian
stable[1] and upstream 0.9.18[2] versions of SBCL won't build with
"gcl -batch".  Even the SPARC binary on the SBCL web site fails[3].

Am I missing any ideas on how to get this going?

1. GNUmakefile:72: depend: No such file or directory

2. Error in GET-MACRO-CHARACTER [or a callee]: NIL is not of type READTABLE

3. After startup banner: ---8<---8<---
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 9293:
maximum interrupt nesting depth (32) exceeded
