I wanted to take this as an opportunity to point to the recent
question "can we determine fasl-compatibility without loading the
fasl"?

No. While you may be able to approximate it with
implementation-specific fasl-header tests, there can always be stuff
in fasls that breaks compatibility anyways -- as demonstrated above.
