Therefore, running "make install" is not necessary, and you can
specify --with-clisp=$clisp_builddir/clisp when configuring xindy.
-Xindy requires a clisp built with Foreign Function Interface support.
-If you are using clisp 2.44 or newer, note the following (taken from
-the NEWS file from clisp sources):
-
-* CLISP does not come with GNU libffcall anymore.
- This is now a separate package and should be installed separately.
- Pass --with-libffcall-prefix to the top-level configure if it is not
- installed in a standard place.
- Option --with-dynamic-ffi is now replaced with --with-ffcall.
-
-So you would need to install libffcall separately, before installing clisp,
-and change --with-dynamic-ffi to --with-ffcall in the xindy configure call.
-You can download libffcall sources from
-http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-ffcall-README.html
-or from the "ffcall" directory in the clisp-2.43 tarball,
-or from http://packages.debian.org/sid/libffcall1
-(containing some improvements from Debian).
-Again, this is needed only for clisp 2.44 and newer.

When running `configure' for clisp, the following options should be noted:
=======================================================
- --with-dynamic-ffi (for clisp 2.43 and older), or
- --with-ffcall (for clisp 2.44 and newer)
-
- This enables the Foreign Function Interface in clisp.
- But strictly speaking, it is not necessary to use either of these
- options, because the default is to support Foreign Function
- Interface when available.
-
--ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
You may optionally install libsigsegv to improve clisp's runtime
