Hi Christian,

I was surprised because the Loongson build went so flawlessly and all the
tests passed. I'm seeing lots of differences in the way OpenBSD runs on
these various boxes, not surprisingly. I couldn't build clisp from source on
this box at first try either today, although it built fine on the
Loongson. Maybe I should abandon these fast boxes and just stay on MIPS!

Thanks for the explanation and all the help you've been giving on chicken. I
really appreciate it. Good to know and I will go ahead and install it then.
