Deferred warnings broken on SBCL 1.4.7

[Robert Goldman]

I have just pushed a merge request and topic branch for this.

See https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/merge_requests/95

I'm pretty scared about this -- we are getting in there and rooting 
around in SBCL internals in ways that seem almost guaranteed to break 
again later.  But for now, I think it's fixed.

Comments welcome -- especially comments involving a nicer rewrite of 
what I wrote.

Best,
R
