Of course many implementations do compile to machine code but there are also a few that don't (clisp, ecl, abcl). It is really complicated to talk about languages that have multiple implementations. That is why I went with "interpreter". That was pretty lazy of me :).
But you didn't say anything about the original question. Have you seen Common Lisp code deployed as an executable or as source code?
