clisp not reproducible

The build of CLISP is not reproducible. There are three files that

differ:

diff -r /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49 /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49-check/

Binary files /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.a and /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49-check/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.a differ

Binary files /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lispinit.mem and /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49-check/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lispinit.mem differ

Binary files /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.run and /gnu/store/lf2ybanhxpvbgbxcsxmc733v010g15fp-clisp-2.49-check/lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.run differ

This also affects packages that use CLISP to build executables.

The file ./src/constobj.d contains this:

diffoscope indicates that this may be the cause of the irreproducible

build of lib/clisp-2.49/base/lisp.run.

╵

This is now fixed in c26ba570cce88a9c2529df722042648e34181e42, but clisp

is still not reproducible because the initial memory dump (lispinit.mem)

differs. Diffoscope does not show anything obvious.
