You usually end up having to use a cross compiler to do it, and even then not always. I guess that's what happens when it can't bootstrap itself without an already working version. I don't find the size that huge. A typical CMUCL image for me is about 20-25 MB. XEmacs is about the same for me. CMUCL isn't what we want to use. Ray
