Download cmucl-src-20000228.tar.gz and follow all of the instructions
about building that you can find.  There may be bootstrap problems in
getting this new version to build; I'm not sure.  I think the only
difference between 19980625 and today are bug fixes; it may just build
just fine.

If you were running Solaris 2.7, I could give you my current working
binaries.  I don't have easy access to Solaris 2.5 anymore.

P.S.  You might get better answers asking on cmucl-help or cmucl
mailing lists.
