I believe the first problem you will encounter with the ansi image is that ansi triggers an error if an (in-package ...) is encountered before the corresponding (make-package ...), whereas the older standard implied the latter with the former. There is some file earlier in your log which failed to compile is my guess. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to get all exits in the error handler to return non-zero to the shell to abort the build immediately at sign of trouble. Do you want to use the ansi image? GCL has kept the older one around specifically for reasons like this. Unless you are using oop, all you get is extra unused image size.
