You cannot build CMUCL from sources without a working CMUCL on either
the same or different platform.  This is also true for SBCL, a CMUCL
derivative.

Now that the info reader works for Clisp, I have no need to build and
run GCL anymore.  CMUCL probably runs as fast as GCL, but its bignum
performance is probably worse than GCL/GMP.  Clisp is very good there.
For numerical work, CMUCL is the probably the best of the three.
