Expect a 2.4 sbcl, without threading, in my people.debian.org repositry soon.
Thanks. BTW, I'm surprised that precompiled 2.4 kernels don't support multi-threading ?
They do, but in 2.4 threading was done in a completely different way when in 2.6. For the C world this resulted in a move from pthreads to the NPTL library, for sbcl this enabled the use of more complex features. The end effect is that it now only works for a 2.6 kernel, even 2.4 kernel that are patched to allow the use of the NPTL library seem to pose intermittend problems, so I decided it was better to err on the side of caution.
