Like in the numbers egg, certain standard procedures are usually
inlined. "cdr" is among these. To disable that, do a

(declare (not standard-bindings cdr))

See the numbers egg about an example how to handle this at compile-time
(i.e. a separate .scm file with the declarations and a compiled .so that
provides the implementation).
