I'm sorry, I just quoted from the announce in
comp.os.linux.announce. Obviously the Linux port is not really done.

Personally, as a BSD user, I'm happy with Paul's port and not involved
in porting activities of CMU CL to Linux. The existing and working
FreeBSD port should make a Linux port much easier that the initial x86
port. See Paul's CMUCL for FreeBSD page.

If someone is really interested in doing some work, please contact me
and I'll see if I could get you started. There's still a mailing list
for Linux porting activity and an archive of mails with good
information. 

Or install FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD, all run Paul's port and many
Linux apps (I'm *so* shameless :-). Then, spend the time you saved to
implement threads :-)

Anyway, it's late and I'm going to write *real* nonsense any moment
now. I'll try to get some real information on the Linux ghost port
later. 

Martin
