[Gcl-devel] common-lisp and GCL-2.6.8pre *features*

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Camm --

   Using GCL-2.6.8pre (CVS) included in Axiom distribution, I'm seeing
a curious interaction between *features* and  :common-lisp.  
Below is a session to reproduce the problem:

address@hidden:~> gcl

>(member :common-lisp *features*)

NIL

>(member :gcl *features*)

(:GCL :AKCL :COMMON :KCL)

>#-:common-lisp foo

Error: The variable FOO is unbound.
Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by EVAL.
Broken at EVAL.  Type :H for Help.




I would have expected the system NOT to try to evaluate foo.
