I'm still finding oddities in the test process inside/outside of make.

First test on ccl failed on test-sysdef-asdf.script (inside make
test-all-no-upgrade-no-stop):


Load ASDF with proper configuration: should find asdf.asd from the
source above

TEST ABORTED: These two expressions fail comparison with EQUAL:
 NIL evaluates to NIL

this failure occurs in this block:

(DBG "Load ASDF with proper configuration: should find asdf.asd from the
source above")
(initialize-source-registry
 `(:source-registry
   (:directory ,*asdf-directory*)
   (:directory ,*uiop-directory*)
   :ignore-inherited-configuration))
(clear-system "asdf")
(load-system :asdf)
;; This time we found it, but it was skipped because the version was the
same
(assert-equal nil (system-source-file (find-system :asdf)))

Note the remarks about upgrading from one pre-release version of ASDF to
another.  This suggests to me that there's some leakage of prior state
into the tests -- something isn't properly cleared.


Second test of make test l=ccl t=test-sysdef-asdf.script succeeds.

I suspect that there's some leakage of state in the filesystem
