So no objection here.  I think it is a good thing to properly
layer a project -- it is good abstraction.  In our case,
it is the Lisp layer and C layer, and OS layer (shell stuff).


Also, without FFI we would have no gmp for sbcl.  With ECL
no C compiler means no compiler at all.

It is just an option for sbcl.

For ECL I think it will call C compiler regardless of our CC setting.

Let me add that I consider making FFI mandatory and using
foreign code to speed up algebra.


The "speed up" is GMP right?  Currently only available for
sbcl and clozurecl.

On the same subject, what's your opinion on providing GMP
for all Lisps via CFFI?
