I cannot help with the specific problem, but I will ask you to file a
CLISP bug report on SF.

You can disable all assembly by adding -DNO_ASM to CFLAGS (either at
configure time as "./configure CFLAGS=-DNO_ASM build-no-asm" or by editing
the Makefile and doing "make clean"). Please see clisp/unix/PLATFORMS
for more information.
