I ran into a similar problem with the list of function inliners in ECL
itself. I finally decided to keep that file as lisp source and load it
as it is. Probably it is possible to do the same with constants.lisp
in cl-opengl.

A safer, future-proof solution, would be to split the compiled data
string into smaller chunks, teaching ECL how to do it and how to
reconstruct the original data should not be too difficult -- basically
where now we use a string stream, one would have to use a concatenated
stream of string streams. Wow, that sounds horrible :-)
