There seems to be a bug in CMUCL's create-inet-listener.  You can
probably work around if you remove the :host argument in create-socket
in swank-cmucl.lisp.  There are already a few #+ppc conditionals.  The
same should work for MIPS.

It would, of course, be nicer if someone could actually fix
create-inet-listener.  It seems to be something simple, like a byte
order bug or a wrong constant.
