Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, ECL apparently won't build on OpenBSD
MIPS because of lack of boehm-gc support for MIPS. So that's out for now
anyway.

I was able to build CLISP on my OpenBSD box but I couldn't build SBCL with
CLISP. I asked on the SBCL list and they said they require a 32 bit ABI.
OpenBSD MIPS uses a 64 bit ABI , so SBCL won't work on my platform
either. I'll ask on the CMUCL list. Thank you.
