Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, ECL apparently won't build on OpenBSD MIPS because of lack of boehm-gc support for MIPS. So that's out for now anyway. > The good news is that CMUCL and SBCL (which is a slowly diverging fork of > CMUCL), at least according to Weinreb's latest (now last, alas!) survey > at <http://common-lisp.net/~dlw/LispSurvey.html>, have MIPS backends > for their native compilers. How well maintained they are I don't know. I was able to build CLISP on my OpenBSD box but I couldn't build SBCL with CLISP. I asked on the SBCL list and they said they require a 32 bit ABI. OpenBSD MIPS uses a 64 bit ABI , so SBCL won't work on my platform either. I'll ask on the CMUCL list.
