 I might be leery of not understanding how Rosetta interacts with my
 debugging. But maybe I should give this a whirl on the 2013 iMac I have
 running Catalina.

 SBCL development doesn't have tons of resources.  Krystof seems to be
 implying that they don't really have a demand from users.

 Once you get something running in MacPorts we can perhaps assess the
 effort required to merge the patches upstream.   Since they don't seem to
 have test coverage under ppc/darwin, figuring out how to give them a CI
 instance they can run to see when they break ppc/darwin would probably win
 over bonus points.
