Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [TRY-RECOMPILING] Try recompiling libffi
  1: [RETRY          ] Retry compiling component ("fsbv" "libffi").
  2: [ACCEPT         ] Continue, treating compiling component ("fsbv" "libffi") as having been successful.
  3: [ABORT          ] Give up on "gsll"
  4:                   Exit debugger, returning to top level.
