Hi Jamison, think I'm almost there!

Ah, makes sense.

Cool, I've got a bit further using that compile option, but I'm still stuck...

Sorry, that was me fiddling with calls to GENSYM, thought I'd replace
them with GENTEMP and see what happened. Changed it back to GENSYM and
the problem went away (obviously).

So I appear to succeed with --module-static-run, but only if I compile
the two files separately, that is, instead of

$ ... -C primitives.lisp defmacro.lisp

I run

$ ... -C primitives.lisp
$ ... -C defmacro.lisp

For the case of them both on the same line, I receive this:

(compiling defmacro.lisp)
defmacro.lisp:244:1: exception loading 'COMMON-LISP:DEFMACRO' - no
such class: gnu.commonlisp.lisp.primitives
defmacro.lisp:256:1: exception loading 'COMMON-LISP:DEFMACRO' - no
such class: gnu.commonlisp.lisp.primitives
defmacro.lisp:599:1: exception loading 'COMMON-LISP:DEFMACRO' - no
such class: gnu.commonlisp.lisp.primitives

Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Given the Makefile setup of using clisp-classes.stamp, it seems like
such "all-at-once" compilation is the way to go, I'm not sure what the
best of way of changing it to build them one at a time is, though, and
whether I should actually do that...

Sidenote: When I change a Makefile, I run aclocal && automake &&
./configure ... This means that when I commit my working set, *lots*
of Makefile.in changes are sent to the repository. I don't recall ever
seeing this using Per's repository, and I'm sure Makefile's have
changed in the time I've been here, am I doing something wrong?
