I am reposting some of this for clarification:

For step (1.), I believe for most of you if you go to your distribution
directory called ACL there is a file called

                dumplispPatch

this is a shell archive file and if you follow the instructions there you
should get the same results, ie. a new ucl.o file resulting in 612364 bytes.
If your existing ucl.o file is already 612364 bytes it probably already had
been patched with the "dump lisp" patch.
