That might explain one of the failures I enountered.  There aren't all
that many files that xref doesn't like - if i posted the failures do
you think you could provide some insight?  It sounds like you know how

Found the source - looks like CMUCL will have to be recompiled to
support it.  Ugh.  Maybe I'll wait for the next binary release - I've
had abysmal luck when I try to compile CMUCL.
