Anyone know if AKCL and/or CLISP compile *cleanly* with 386BSD, or
if porting is required?  Even general comments on the compatibilty 
of the 386BSD libraries with common packages (perl, emacs, XFree,
xarchie, gopher) greatly appreciated.  I really like to compile
myself, but hate to port packages - don't have much time to play
and like to USE the packages rather than de-bug them.

Now that 0.2 is comming out, I am looking at 386BSD again.  I gave
up on the patchkit because of 1) "install"'s 5Mb swap limit and   
2) buildworld crashed (because of 1?).  Currently using AKCL and
CLISP on Linux (yes, yes... I know...).
