I made a new GitHub snapshot release: https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/releases/tag/v1.12-dev.5

In order to build current sources, you *must* use the bootstrapping binaries found there.  At the moment, I have built and uploaded bootstrapping binaries for macOS and Linux.  Other platforms will follow in the next couple of days.
