I've now built clisp-2.48 with this change (32-bit only), and I've tested it as 
well as I can, given that I'm not a clisp user.  The build passes all but a 
handful of about 12,000 tests, so I think it's probably OK.  (None of the test 
failures involved crashes.)

I'm attaching the patches that I applied (on top of Reini's patches) in order to 
make the build succeed.  I also had to use libdb4.5 instead of libdb4.8.
Reini, if you're still lurking, maybe you could take a look at the patches.
