ASDF is indeed using its compile time values for computing the fasl 
location rather than runtime values (the abcl-bin-1.0.1 release you are 
running was compiled on solarisx86).

Since is ABCL is unique (?) in having platform-independent fasls, we 
need a bit of special treatment.  It looks like asdf-2.21 included in 
ABCL trunk might be a bit more intelligent about this, as it seems to 
have different code, but we will check it out.

This should mostly be an aesthetic, although annoying, problem or is 
there something here that really effects your desired usage of ABCL?

Filed as ticket [209][]; thanks for the report.
