Gentoo GNU/Linux specific notes for SBCL
----------------------------------------

This is the README.Gentoo file from /usr/share/doc/@PF@/ directory.

  * The Gentoo port uses patches from the Debian project's SBCL port.

  * An SBCL with support for multi-threading on GNU/Linux for the x86 and amd64
    platforms is available with 'USE="threads" emerge dev-lisp/sbcl'.  Note, an
    NPTL-enabled GLIBC is a requirement beginning with SBCL 0.9.5.

  * asdf-install is installed as sbcl-asdf-install (the man-page is similarly
    named).

  * Support for the Common Lisp Controller is available.

  * If "nosource" is in your USE flags, then SBCL's source will not be installed
    (in /usr/lib/sbcl/src).

  * If "unicode" is in your USE flags, then support for SBCL
    Unicode will be included.

  * If "ldb" is in your USE flags, then support for the SBCL low-level debugger
    will be included.

If you encounter any problems or have suggestions, use http://bugs.gentoo.org.
Please don't bother the upstream authors unless you are absolutely certain it is
not Gentoo-related.
