clisp fails to compile on Mac-Intel

[jjramsey@…]

DarwinPorts was building clisp as part of installing Maxima. The command to install was simply "sudo port install maxima". The error messages I got were as follows:

Hi, This will not be fixed any time soon. Mac-intel is not supported by the clisp developers yet. In the short term, I'll change the portfile to have it fail with a message saying that this platform is broken.

Unfortunately, the Rosetta tool from Apple has a major bug (failure to implement precise exceptions) which makes it impossible to test and x86 build on a non-Intel mac.

Portfile should now fail with an error message on Mac-Intel. I will add Mac-Intel support to the portfile when the developers upstream provide it.
