Hi.
I just tried building CLISP a few times on x86-64, and I also see a few
errors in the test report (although not exactly the same number as in
the log on the CI), but they don't make the build fail.

I think the real issue the CI got is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
building of `/gnu/store/8dp91kjmlw0n6knvzpw2glsmvh9vw47r-clisp-2.49-92.drv' timed out after 3600 seconds of silence
@ build-failed /gnu/store/8dp91kjmlw0n6knvzpw2glsmvh9vw47r-clisp-2.49-92.drv - timeout
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I was not able to reproduce that.
Maybe the CI just had a hiccup... I restarted the build, maybe it will
be enough.
