[Openmcl-devel] slow read-char

[Gary Byers]

It's tricky to bootstrap a few of those changes (I actually managed
to produce images that were much less functional than yours seems to
be ...).

I'd guess that the particular problem you're seeing has to do with the
fact that some newly redefined macros defined in
ccl/level-1/l1-streams.lisp (the low-level stream code) weren't in
effect when the file-stream code in ccl/level-1/l1-sysio.lisp was
compiled.  (Those macros should probably be moved to a file that's
compiled and loaded before code that uses them is compiled.)

I'd ordinarily say "well, since the new macro definitions are
present in the image your made, re-compiling everything should
fix file-streams."  However, with file-streams broken, recompiling
is likely to be difficult.

Ordinarily, if I make a change that's hard to bootstrap (like this) I
try to make binaries available soon after.  In this case, I want to
try to break a few more things soon (so those binaries would become
obsolete in a few hours), and wanted to advise anyone trying to build
from bleeding-edge CVS to wait until the dust settles and things
stop breaking every few hours.  (That'll probably be at least another
day or so.)
