Or later. I recommend testing with the latest ASDF.

This output doesn't help me. Are the files now visited by the perform
method in order? It looks like that might be the case, but make sure.

If that still fails, rather than the asdf plumbing itself, can you
identify if the dependency instrumentation is still working on the
latest SBCL? IIRC, adg relies on some low-level SBCL interfaces that
might have bitrotten.

Sorry, I haven't used that in production in over ten years and have no
time to dive into CL code at the moment.

Good luck!
