Hmm, I have clearly misunderstood how this works because this case you 
mention does work (with CMUCL too). I changed a test lib, recompiled 
it, and loaded previously compiled bindings, and it works.

The only requirement CMUCL has is that library has to be loaded before 
loading the bindings, it can compile them without the library being 
loaded. Is it really such a crippling requirement? I'll ask around why 
this requirement is there anyway.

Btw, while SBCL will be able to load the bindings before the library, 
it'll issue STYLE-WARNINGs.
