This is the right place indeed.

Yes, I discovered as much while running the recently enhanced
asdf's test-encodings and put an ignore-errors around the whole thing,
for all implementations.

I tried something and it looks like it passes the test-encodings test.

There's some magic in some old tests that I haven't tried to figure
out - I don't know who set up those directories, but apparently, some
static files are expect that were removed or never committed, but that
didn't use to cause problems when those files were ignored, which they
are not anymore now that timestamps take them into account. I added
the files, and it seems to have hushed the tests.

Speaking of tests, I just added a 42nd test, but it fails on cmucl:
the hello-world-example for producing a standalone program.

My dump attempt has these errors, using an image from your
distribution on a not-so-fresh ubuntu machine (to be upgraded RSN):
