You probably used an old ECL. Our implementation can compile files with
almost any kind of lisp object thanks to some patches contributed by
Brian Spilsbury.

I just "darc pull"'ed the latest sources from
http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/darcs/cffi and built it without
problems. Indeed there are people using CFFI on ECL since a long time
ago. See below how I build a single DLL for CFFI using a trick which is
proper to our implementation.

Juanjo
