CVS HEAD has its own problem, the supplied status code doesn't make it
to the operating system. I'm experimenting with ECL and have a lisp
script to compile various C and lisp files and link an executable.
Naturally I'd like the script to return nonzero when the build fails,
but ECL always returns zero regardless of what I supply to ext:quit.
Investigating, I found it took the unwind branch of ext:quit, and I
guess the status code gets discarded somewhere. As a quick hack, I
disabled the unwinding so it immediately exited, which solved my
immediate problem.
