+Some notes on this package:
+
+- we cannot link to libreadline v6, see bug #553741
+- clisp uses --host and --target only if you do cross compilation, which is a manual affair, so
+  we cannot use this. This means we cannot fix bug #491573 for example...
+- we disabled dynamic modules on sparc as it will build and will survice 'make check', but
+  dies when loading a module.
