Hi, I'm using tarfile-rev-4b from arisia.xerox.com:/pcl and AKCL-1-530 from
cli.com, on an HP 9000 (the GNU machines).

I'm using the following makefile to compile PCL:

# makefile by Schelter for use with akcl (version 492) and pcl (may 1 1990).
# to compile type 'make'.  Later to make a saved image type make saved_pcl

LISP=kcl

PRELIMS= '(in-package "PCL")(setq *pathname-extensions* (cons "lisp" "o"))' \
	'(setq *pcl-directory* (truename "./"))(load "defsys.lisp") '

# for may1 1990 pcl:
pcl-90: fixed-for-akcl 
	echo '(setq compiler::*compile-ordinaries* t)' \
	$(PRELIMS)'(pcl::compile-pcl)' | ${LISP}

# patch the kcl-low.lisp--just a little C error. 
fixed-for-akcl:
	mv kcl-low.lisp kcl-low.lisp.orig
	cat kcl-low.lisp.orig | sed -e "s:->cc_env:->cc.cc_env:g" > kcl-low.lisp
	date > fixed-for-akcl

saved_pcl:
	echo ${PRELIMS} '(pcl::load-pcl)' \
	'(si::save-system "saved_pcl")' | ${LISP}

It works fine for a while, then it tries to compile "gazonk0.lsp" over and over.
There are no gazonk* files in the distribution at all.  If I make a fake
gazonk0.lsp, it tries gazonk1.lsp and keeps incrementing the number as I
make more fake files.  Only one file in the distribution has "gazonk" in it,
and it's a comment.

If you have any ideas why this is happening, please let me know!  I've got
a large Lisp project I'm doing this summer & I wanted to write it in CLOS.

Thanks in advance!
