I'm having some difficulty building clisp from the cvs sources over the
last several days.  

It crashes after this message: 

  ... 
  In file included from spvw.d:21:
  lispbibl.d:7007: warning: register used for two global register variables
  spvw.d: In function `main': 
  spvw.d:1696: warning: variable `argv_memneed' might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork' 
  make: *** [spvw.o] Error 1

I'm trying to do the build on an intel box running 
Debian 2.2rev3 (potato) GNU/Linux.  I'm sure it doesn't matter but I
have two processors and I am running an SMP kernel. 

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

if you are using the unreleased development sources, you should
subscribe to clisp-devel mailing list and ask questions there.

these are normal warnings.

huh?  were are the errors?

remove your cvs tree, get it again, then type
$ configure --build build

Thanks,  that did it.  It seems that 'make clean' doesn't really do what
it needs to.  Thanks for the help.  In the future I'll send something to
the list.
