No, I'm not. I'm using SBCL on Mac (latest one in ports). I have my prelude.base defsystem that depends on nothing and a prelude.string system that depends on prelude.base. You tried join without the cl:&optional? And str:join was able to be called with one argument?

I would also be very interested in a Lisp CMS. Are you going to use something like UCW, or completely custom?
