Re: help on building clisp

Hey Shashank,
Thanks for interest in clisp.

This is the normal way to configure clisp with threads.

`make` should build successfully clisp.
`make check` usually segfaults in multi thread builds (you were lucky)
mostly due to non thread safe hash tables.

The hash table implementation is located in src/hashtabl.d. Hash
tables are used in both lisp and c code - to get an impression do
simple grep for: make-hash-table (and make_hash_table), gethash, etc.
I would recommend you to get common with clisp internals -
http://clisp.org/impnotes/internals.html is a good start.
