clisp 2.43 or so did away with the need to run "makemake" manually. 
There are currently known issues with gcc 4.2 and higher that make the 
build segfault, so setting CFLAGS to "-O0 -g" is one way to get around 
those compiler issues for gcc 4.2 and higher at the cost of performance.

You can if you so desire disable libsigsegv support via configure 
option, but it certainly isn't recommended.
