One should note that while it is true that the last CLISP release was a long time ago and there is not a lot of development going on right now, it's not dead. Bruno Haible just commited last week.

The repository is now at https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp

That is exactly the problem, there have been many commits to HEAD but no release for 12 years??? It isn’t dead, it is undead. Strange.

Not strange. The new generational GC does not work yet on Windows. libsigsegv esp. which signals out of memory conditions, which triggers a major GC. Any windows assembler help there appreciated.
