I have an old copy of SBCL, 1.0.28, which I keep around (we pinned
ourselves to that revision for a project I was working on), and I tried
to run the test suite on this version of SBCL, 64-bit Mac.

The test suite failed, and here are the last several lines of the output:

; compilation unit finished
;   caught 2 STYLE-WARNING conditions
;   printed 1 note


; /Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/asdf.fasl written
; compilation finished in 0:00:07.450
Testuite failed: ASDF compiled with warningsbash-3.2$


I thought that this might be a spurious failure having to do with being
too stringent about what constitutes an ASDF compilation failure, so I
tried to run the test suite again (figuring a compiled version of
asdf.lisp would now be available), but it failed identically.

Is this expected?  Should I ticket this?

I will report on ACL tests shortly.


Thanks,
Robert
