And SBCL 0.9.7.5 (Linux/x86) with the following trivial patch:

  (in-package :gtk-ffi)


I got a lot of warnings and the following error while compiling:

erred while invoking #<COMPILE-OP NIL {B467E51}> on
    #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "gtk-other" {B45FB01}> 
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
   0: [RETRY ] Retry performing #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL {B467E51}> on
               #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "gtk-other" {B45FB01}>.
   1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL {B467E51}> on
               #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "gtk-other" {B45FB01}> as having been
               successful.
   2: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.


But, by the time SBCL got here, gtk-other was already compiled, and
since the retry restart didn't get me any further, I started all over
again, and it works.  I do get almost 3000 "undefined alien" warnings
when running the demo, but it runs fine.
