I just checked, and unfortunatly in wh-sandbox make distclean (and relatives
like make clean) are broken: they does not clean src subdirectory.

In my build tree I do not see |atom| function in the translated Lisp --
I think that your build went wrong due to use of stale files.

That should not matter -- IIRC the modification affected only Latex output,
and now Latex files are fixed to not require Tim's change.

AFAICS you copied gcl source tree into wh-sandbox and make just build fresh
gcl from sources.
