I've been trying to adopt Reini's packages that have not yet been ported to

I'm guessing this is for clisp?
Right. It might be possible to build a rudimentary version of clisp on x86_64
without ffcall, but I don't know yet.
Unfortunately, the source has a lot of assembler code in it, so I will almost
certainly need help from someone well versed in x86_64 assembly language. And
the libffcall project appears to be dead upstream, so I'm not going to get help
there.
Unless you can find a patch somewhere for Win64 support.
Not that I've been able to find.
I have no idea how hard this will be. The code has been ported to x86_64 Linux,
so there's at least a starting point.
Only to a point, there are significant differences:
