Making CMUCL run on more platforms is an extremely difficult task. It
involves describing every instruction of the architecture, figuring
out the assembly calling conventions, how you want assign registers,
and writing a ton of assembly code and then you're still not done
because you have to use an existing version to cross-compile to the
new.
A very daunting task.

Gcl doesn't need any of those features for maxima.
