I'm wondering if anybody has successfully compiled (5/22/89 Victoria)
 PCL (revision 4) with AKCL (1-505) on a DEC 5000.

The compilation error occurs when trying to compile "boot.lisp"
 (up to that point the other compilations appear normal). The
 error output is the following:

	...

Finished compiling /images/akcl/dec/pcl/dlap.o.
Loading binary of DLAP...start address -T e31000
Compiling BOOT...
Compiling /images/akcl/dec/pcl/boot.lisp.
End of Pass 1.
;; Note: Tail-recursive call of UNPARSE-SPECIALIZERS was replaced by iteration.
End of Pass 2.  ccom: Error: /images/akcl/dec/pcl/boot.c, line 3612:

        base[6]=        ((V401))->c.c_car;

Correctable error: (SYSTEM "cc -DVOL=volatile -G 0  -O -c -I. -w
/images/akcl/dec/pcl/boot.c") returned a n
on-zero value 1.
Signalled by UNLESS.
If continued: Continues anyway.

	...

The problem seems to apply to several versions of both PCL and AKCL.

If anyone can supply a fix (or even pointers to a fix) I'd most appreciate it.
