I got the following message:

(:LINUX :IEEE-FLOATING-POINT :DFFI :CLOS-STREAMS :CMU-FORMAT :UNIX :DLOPEN
  :CLOS :BOEHM-GC :ANSI-CL :COMMON-LISP :ECL :COMMON :PENTIUM4 :FFI)

Is that reasonable?  And Bernd mentioned that he has already updated the ecl-patches.lisp and mrs.system, so I have to reinstall LKB right?  Or is there any files can be used directly?

Thanks a lot

Best,
