(Get the code!)
Bootstrappability of compilers is important (see the Thompson attack), and so far SBCL was able to build with ECL and CLISP which are the only boostrappable free software Common Lisp compilers around (beside ABCL maybe?). In particular, CCL and CMUCL are not boostrappable. It'd be nice if we could keep SBCL boostrappable from ECL or CLISP, but well, worse case we can require SBCL 1.5.8 as a bootstrap I suppose. The documentation would need to be updated then.
