Hm.  I did a slightly different set of steps:

cd mkcl
./configure
make
sudo make install

but these look like they should be equivalent (since I didn't set MKCL).

What happens here is that there is a function with undeclared local
variables, but ASDF is not getting a warning from COMPILE-FILE, so it
mistakenly believes the build is successful.

I don't think I wrote this test properly, though.  In a message crossing
with this one, Faré has limited its applicability, but I'm not sure I
understand the change. Surely that system should not build successfully?
