I have been testing ASDF 3.1.0.116 and noticed that this version
of ASDF fixes trivial-features:
http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/asdf/asdf-diff-41.html

As you can see, ABCL 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.3.0 fail trivial-features with
similar error: 

COMMON-LISP:FILE-ERROR: File not found: /home/testgrid/cl-test-grid/work-dir/agent/test-runs/20140418063041-abcl-1.3.0-svn-14688-fasl42-linux-x86/fasl/test-grid/work-dir/agent/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/trivial-features-20130312-git/tests/utsname.abcl

When ASDF 3.1.0.116 is used instead of the ASDF version shipped
with these ABCLs, then trivial-features start working.

So, maybe it was some bug in ASDF wich is fixed now?

BTW, what are .abcl files?

Best regards,
- Anton
