Comment:

 The clisp port used to have a +dynffi variant which provided this
 functionality. It was [changeset:388036fc84899eb1874de1e4c74980fa21127181
 /macports-ports added in 2006] when the port was updated to version 2.37.
 It was [changeset:2d3f6590e8b0b9f48091dcff7e9a0a411ae9a15d/macports-ports
 removed without explanation in 2009] when the port was updated to 2.48.

 Perhaps the explanation is that the commit message for the update to 2.48
 mentions Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard was the first version of Mac OS X to
 compile 64-bit by default, and as of today the ffcall port still compiles
 only 32-bit. I will be updating the ffcall port to version 1.13 which will
 build for 64-bit so perhaps then it will be possible to reenable this
 functionality in clisp.
