Greetings!

OK, all of these ansi issues are fixed in the master branch and can in
principle be backported.  However, when loading quicklisp into a build
of this branch, the load goes fine, but then I get:

There appears to be some internal support quicklisp has not yet provided
for GCL, so I guess it does not make sense to pursue this further at
this point.   I'm more than happy of course to work with the quicklisp
people should they wish to extend support to GCL.

Take care,
