Well, first, it might be loaded from the wrong package.
ASDF 1&2 loads from a temporary package that uses CL and ASDF.
ASDF 3 loads from ASDF-USER, that uses CL, ASDF, and most of POIU
(not all of it, for backward-compatibility reasons, until SBCL has
stopped using SB-EXT in SB-GROVEL at the same time as).
