I have a bunch of diffs that make Kyoto Common Lisp run for me
on an IRIS4D/70G. The compiler, fasloader, and faslinker all work.
The patches take up about 16K uncompressed. I will give them to anyone
who sends me a request via email, since our anonymous ftp directory
is 105% full. Tell me if you want the stuff compressed and uuencoded.
You'll have to get the latest KCL distribution (probably from
rascal.ics.utexas.edu). A couple comments on the fixes:
* Do a "make" in the unixport directory, not the attport
* Several files are built from scratch; they should be obvious
* Order of the arguments to "ld" is more critical than for VAXen
Stripping raw_kcl of local symbols speeds up the fasloader.
Leave the ld commands as they are unless you know something I don't
* You get the BSD si:catch-bad-signals function. I've never gotten a
bus error with the latest version of my fixes, but I like to put
(si:catch-bad-signals) in init.lsp to avoid 4 Meg coredumps.
* The patches might break KCL on any machine besides a mips
Let me know if you have any trouble making KCL. I don't know how
to make a patch file for Larry Wall's patcher, but if someone will tell
me, I'll do it.
