Have you tried enabling ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS-COMPATIBILITY, without
CENTRALIZE-BINARIES?

Please have a look again at the manual for this function and see if it
meets your needs.

Faré may have a different solution based on the DSL.  I suspect that
something involving :HOME will do the trick --- if you use SBCL, at
least, I don't think you want ALL the fasl files relocated; some should
stay in /usr/lib...

Also, if you can, please let us know why this didn't emerge from the
manual as a possible solution.  I'd like to enhance the manual if
there's something obvious to be done.

Best,
