Do you have a documentation somewhere which explains how sbcl is bootstapped?
I would like to bootstrap sbcl on all supported architectures. I suppose that
alpha and hppa should work fine given their age and hence maturity.

I have already played around with debian/rules a bit but so far I haven't figured
