I adapted the patch from upstream and added it to the lisp-team branch.

I tried testing the build with "guix build -s powerpc46le-linux sbcl"
on my x86-64 machine, but it failed indicating that the clisp used to
boostrap sbcl isn't working properly. I don't know if the problem comes
from qemu or if clisp is really broken on powerpc64le.
Efraim, could you check on your powerpc64le machine?

I also tried "guix build -s riscv64-linux sbcl", but it didn't work,
because some dependencies fail to build (like gnutls).
