From the fifth release onwards, I've been making debian packages, 
see the changelog for details..

This is the fifth release of CMUCL for Linux.

New:
- Lisp .x86f files can be executed from the shell (with a 
  kernel version 2.1.X)
- Generation GC.
- new hash-tables
- better random generator
- libc6 support
- more packages
- signed-array support
- multi-processing

Old-New:
- Fixed calling of inline functions.
- Removed propagation of trig functions.
- Some other fixes.

Old-New:
- fp faults now _really_,_really_ works. (there is a bug in the 
Linux kernel that resets the control world of the FPU
in a signal handler)
- html intro's
- lisp-tk interface
- a lot of bugfixes

Old-new: (release 3)
- improved type progation, now also for floating point numbers (if enabled).
- numerous small fixes. 

Old-New: (release 2)
- ELF support. The executable is fully ELF, and you can use 
dlopen and friends.
- fp faults now work:

Nice, ain't it. Especially the inexact! (search for it in C...)

- packages: clx, clm (no server yet, so untested), hemlock
- more kernels: with and without pcl (clos)
- a lot of fixes
- fsstnd 

This release is based on CMUCL-FreeBSD-1.03.7.tar.gz from Paul 
F. Werkowski <pw@snoopy.mv.com>.
