It seems that not having a compiler around is a not unusual property for Common Lisp deployment (ECL, Parenscript, Thinlisp, commercial implementations, older implementations) and is something that the ANSI standard is IMO too strict in requiring.
The standard only requires minimal compilation for COMPILE, ie. macroexpansion.
