Oh, I can rebuild it (now that I know how); it's just sometimes
a bit tricky to build one version with another. [E.g., CMUCL-19e
wouldn't run on my laptop's old version of FreeBSD, so I had to
rebuild it using a CMUCL-19c that *did* run on the old version
of FreeBSD.]

Can you explain what you mean by that? Its name *is*
"CMU Common Lisp" (CMUCL) after all, and it *does* claim
to be an ANSI CL:

    cmu> (defun feature-grep (tag)
           (remove (string tag) *features* :key #'string :test-not #'search))

    FEATURE-GREP
    cmu> (feature-grep 'lisp)

    (:COMMON-LISP)
    cmu> (feature-grep 'ansi)

    (:ANSI-CL)
    cmu>
