Github user uint commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1410
So about removing the bundled dependencies (`lib/cl/externals`).
There is a nifty package manager for CL (Quicklisp) that works a bit like,
say, Cargo for Rust. It's commonly used, but the problem is it isn't available
in `PATH` or anything - it's installed in the user's dir normally. There's no
good way to detect its presence while building Thrift.
What if we included the Quicklisp installer (literally a single `.lisp`
file), installed it locally during the build, and then used it to pull in other
dependencies? Would that be fine?
