 I have been using cmucl-freebsd-7.0 on freebsd7.0 and 7.1 without
 any problem.
 However I have no 6.x or 8.0 platform to test.
 My prudential logic is:
 if (OS>=7.0) then install cmucl-19e-
              else install cmucl-19c-
 I think who sticks with FreeBSD-6.x prefers cmucl with a longer testing
 history. Those having 7.x prefer to keep uptodate, moreover this case
 was tested at least by me.
