No, interpsys is a part of OA sources and used only for building.
As I said before, one can think of it as of libtool or similar.

SBCL adds shebangs in order to make "standalong executables".
One can copy /usr/bin/sbcl to /any/path/with/any/name
and compile lisp source using this new file and get shebang:
#! /any/path/with/any/name --script

But FASL-files are not used as standalong executables in OA,
and the only mandatory part of FASL is line "# FASL".


Might this cause a problem for someone down the line?  I'm thinking of

AFAIK this is how most lisp compilers work: include its core into resulting
binaries.


Thanks for your time.  Hope this is of some use, interest.
