does it happen
 a) from a final linking phase linking sbcl's .o files
 b) or using a vanilla sbcl exe (or executable core) and hacking the
grovelled .o or .so files into it?

from a strictly engineering perspective, do you think using bazel to
build cl code would be better than using ASDF? yes/no/hard-to-judge?

to me it seems that it's an important ability to customize the build
system from the .asd (because it's the same language), and that would
be lost with bazel, no?

feel free to ignore all of this, just random curiosity...
