How about a large one then.  I have no problem checking out the complete
clisp source tree, then applying a patch, then bootstrapping it with
some sequence of commands, and then looking at some failure, but in that
case I'd prefer as copy-n-pasteable instructions as possible; presumably
you already have all that information (but I have never built the clisp
tree before).

This is probably a bug in the definition of m4_toupper (which has an
optimization that may be invalid in some cases), so let's not drop the
ball on this until we know.

Thanks,
Ralf
