One problem is that cmu lisp and scl can only be built on systems on which
they already run. Sbcl is a commercial product which is not currently ported
to OpenBSD. Also, I have the impression that sbcl source is proprietary.

Gcl errors out during build with a gcc error which I simply don't understand.
I have sent email to the gcl bug system. Gcl looks to me like the best bet.
Otherwise I may be forced to do my tensor calculations on an HP 50g.
