Cross-compilation with clisp is needed to be fixed (second time)

[Vasily Postnicov]

Cross-compilation with clisp as a host is broken. Affects versions 1.1.14+ (but not 1.1.14 itself)

Now it seems to be a leaking macro/loop misuse. Bug is in src/compiler/pack.lisp, comes with this commit:

https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/commit/19319c931fc1636835dbef71808cc10e252bcf45

I attach a patch which fixes the problem.

I still can't build even with this patch. And the error messages CLISP gives are incomprehensible:

WARNING: LOOP: FOR clauses should occur before the loop's main body
WARNING: LOOP: FOR clauses should occur before the loop's main body
WARNING: LOOP: FOR clauses should occur before the loop's main body
WARNING: LOOP: FOR clauses should occur before the loop's main body

Bye.

Very strange, indeed. I get these messages when compiling pack.lisp:

;; Compiling file /home/vasily/sbcl-dragonfly/src/compiler/pack.lisp ...
;; Wrote file /home/vasily/sbcl-dragonfly/obj/from-host/src/compiler/pack.fas-tmp
The following functions were used but not defined:
 SB!C::PRINT-TN-GUTS SB!REGALLOC::PACK-ITERATIVE
0 errors, 0 warnings
;; Loading file obj/from-host/src/compiler/pack.fas ...
;; Loaded file obj/from-host/src/compiler/pack.fas

Are you using clisp 2.49 (which is 3 years old, asking just to be sure)?

I found that the bug was introduced with commit I specified above using git bisect. Can you confirm this by building sbcl from commit before that (it's 12b1dae...)? Who knows if pack.lisp was changed before that. But do not forget to fix code/late-extensions.lisp first :)

That was due to REPEAT being before FOR. Fixed in 272a4fad189dd96e57d3b3120c82217fdb5c5449, thanks
