;; ABCL and ECL (as well as CCL, CMUCL, CLISP and SBCL itself)
;;
;; CCL is not bootstrappable so it won't do. CLISP 2.49 seems to work.
;; ECL too. ECL builds SBCL about 20% slower than CLISP. As of
;; 2019-09-05, ECL was last updated in 2016 while CLISP was last update
;; in 2010.
;;
;; For now we stick to CLISP for all systems. We keep the `match' in to
;; make it easier to change the host compiler for various architectures.
