i tried that. i just tried to go through one test in an ecl repl and  
observe that it fails to compile everything due to missing .h  files.  
so, there's something more-or-less essentially broken in my ecl build.

that leaves the abcl.

i went through a test-script-similar process in an abcl repl.
- to compile is ok.
- to load the result tmp fasl is ok.
- to rename the fast from the tmp file to the target fasl file is ok.
- it fails to load the renamed fasl.
