I fresh checkout of trunk does the following on both of my virtual machines:

$ ./fx86cl64
Unhandled exception 10 at 0x300001050b6b, context->regs at #x7fffffffd280
received signal 10; faulting address: 0x300001050b6b
? for help
[88099] Clozure CL kernel debugger: 

I installed misc/compat6x as stated in [1].

Just to confirm that I have the right binary.
MD5 (fx86cl64) = bf5ed64025fc0869134128e2dd520c52
