If the clisp was being built from pkgsrc, then please let us know.
Matthias Scheler recently introduced some definitions which we
use to unlimit specific resources during a package's build:

[10:15:02] agc@fs0 /usr/pkgsrc 4 > grep UNLIMIT_RESOURCES */*/Make*
emulators/xmame/Makefile:UNLIMIT_RESOURCES=     datasize
emulators/xmess/Makefile:UNLIMIT_RESOURCES=     datasize
graphics/imlib/Makefile:UNLIMIT_RESOURCES=      datasize
x11/kdelibs2/Makefile:UNLIMIT_RESOURCES=        datasize
[10:18:58] agc@fs0 /usr/pkgsrc 5 >

and the stacksize can be unlimited in a similar way, just by
using one definition.

If you are using pkgsrc, please let us know, so that we can
add the appropriate definitions to the package Makefile.
