I just did the following sequence on a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 x86 with proper
tools and libs installed without any incident:

   > git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/mkcl/mkcl.git

So I don't see what your problem could have been. Could you cut and paste
the exact error messages you received.

I am building a separate uiop module out of that set of sources so that
part would have to stay anyway.
File asdf.lisp is not an original source file but a derived one,
concatenated from the real original source files kept in the asdf
directory, as you well know, so it is not really a proper base for the
build process.
Further I do not see any real and concrete inconvenience to the current
layout of things in contrib/asdf. To the contrary, I find it very
convenient when I need to diff against a more current asdf git clone or
tarball.

I will back port to MKCL 1.1.9 the fixes I currently have in MKCL 1.2.0.
You will have them in the git repository in a few hours.  compiler::*speed*
is going away anyway since proclaim at al. need to work even when the "CMP"
module has not been loaded, use si::*speed* instead. Also, nickname "C" for
package "COMPILER" has been removed since MKCL 1.1.0 at least (too clash
prone).
