When Axiom was first released Arthur Norman released a version of CCL. I tried to build Axiom on it but failed, mostly due to my lack of understanding of how CCL-based Axioms were built. When Axiom was released to NAG it was on Bill Schelter's AKCL (now GCL). I worked with Bill on AKCL so I was intimately familiar with the details. Thus, after a few months of effort I gave up on the CCL path and restored the build on GCL. While CCL gave portability it isn't a full common lisp. Indeed GCL is no longer a "full" common lisp. The direction is clearly ANSI in the long term. So I'd have to conclude that CCL is unlikely to be of importance in the future of Axiom.
