Do you have a documentation somewhere which explains how sbcl is bootstapped? I would like to bootstrap sbcl on all supported architectures. I suppose that alpha and hppa should work fine given their age and hence maturity. >> In order to support more architectures, we would need to bootstrap them.

It would be nice if we could modify the package so that it can be cross-compiled. I have already played around with debian/rules a bit but so far I haven't figured out yet what script to call to start the actual cross-build. >> As the first step, the architecture white-list in debian/control for the sbcl >> package should be removed as the build is blocked by the missing bootstrapped >> sbcl package on the buildds anyway. > > Ok, noted.
