command for building latest cmucl on ppc/darwin

Following the "slightly more complicated build"
instructions, and
using the binary

CMU Common Lisp 19a+ Darwin/Exp 2004-07-25-090

I assembled this command by assembling the files in
src/bootfiles/19a/
in reverse order by modification time:

src/tools/build.sh -C "" -o
"./bin/lisp" -B boot1-cross.lisp -B
boot2-cross-sparc.lisp -B boot3.lisp -B boot4.lisp -B
boot6-sxhash.lisp -B boot7.lisp -B boot-2004-10-1-ppc.lisp
-B boot-2004-10-2.lisp -B boot-2005-02-ppc-linkage.lisp -B
boot-2005-02-1-sparc.lisp -B boot-2005-03-1.lisp -B
boot-2005-03-2.lisp -B boot-2005-04-1-ppc.lisp -B
boot-19b.lisp

This ended up giving me the following (error):

Can someone please tell me what I should be doing instead?

It's very unlikely that just loading up all of the boot
files will
work, especially if there are several cross-compiles needed.
 And
including a boot file for sparc is probably not going to
help any
either because I doubt the files are properly
conditionalized to work
only on sparc.

Use 19c or a snapshot instead?  But if you really want to
compile a
version for yourself, you should start with 19c and load the
bootfiles
in order.  But I see there's at least one cross-compile so
you need to
do one cross-compile first.  Then with that binary, you can
do another
build with the other boot files.

But why do you want to build everything yourself?

   It's very unlikely that just loading up all of the boot
files will
   work, especially if there are several cross-compiles
needed.  

The documentation in BUILDING is extremely non-specific,

"The bootstrap files listed with the -B option (as
many as needed) are
loaded in order, so be sure to get them right."

Is there any good way to tell what's needed out of the
whole list?

The only binary available in the mirror for PPC/Darwin is
from 2004
and is version 19a.  To get a more recent version that runs
on this
platform, it seems I may need to build it myself!

I'll try to fix the documentation.

You should be able to get something more recent from
http
://common-lisp.net/webftp/pub/project/cmucl/

Look in the release directory for the 19c release and the
snapshots
directory for recent snapshots.

I'll see what I can do about the mirrors.  I hope some of
the mirror
maintainers are reading this so they can update the mirrors
from
common-lisp.net.
