What version of dev-lisp/common-lisp-controller do you have installed? Version 4.27 onwards is required because of that POSIX symbol change beginning with CLISP 2.36. The clisp-2.36 ebuild depends on >=dev-lisp/common-lisp-controller-4.27. The error you got is like the one I got when I first tried porting clisp 2.36 using the older common-lisp-controller port.
Thanks for that Matthew. I had common-lisp-controller 4.15 originally (clisp-2.36 didn't ask for it when I emerged it) but now I've emerged 4.27 and all is well. In the ebuild for clisp-2.36, you might want to change 2.27 to 4.27 ;-)
Ugh.. sorry about that!
