[another set of failures removed...] (trying to bootstrap w/ CLISP)
Ick. And what is worse, I've had problems like that in the past and the SBCL people always answer with "Well don't do that, use SBCL to bootstrap instead. We don't really support CLisp, even though we made it look like we do." (Hence some of the comments in the pkg makefile...) Of course this means either finding an existing version of SBCL that works, or cross compiling from somewhere that does. Neither option fits well into pkgsrc.
I need to talk to a few pkgsrc infrastructure gurus about maybe using SBCL to bootstrap itself and get it in the bulk builds, or adding this package into the bulk upload by hand.
In the mean time, I suggest getting the antique 0.9.1(?) version on sbcl.org, putting it into /usr/local, building with that, and always keeping a copy of the binary package around when you want to upgrade again. I've also put the package I just built today on ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jonb/sbcl-1.0.11.tgz. It was built on the netbsd-4 branch after rc3 was tagged. Now if I only had an easy of doing the same thing for the other supported branches...
