The build fails on OSX without that option. Interestingly enough we do
not run makemake with the recommended options. I "fixed" that once a
couple months ago, but we reverted the changes because of the above
mentioned breakage on OSX.
clisp 2.43 is out and updating clisp has been on my lisp of things to
do for a while. (see #1002)
