Hello Faré,

It took some time but I finally had a moment to look at the issues.

I almost fixed the 'official' asdf to support all the features the ecl
provided one has. I think having a 'special' asdf for ecl is asking for
compatibility problems.

This after some searching turns out to be caused because
common-lisp-controller.lisp uses the function 'compile-file'. As the clc
enabled ecl includes this it causes these messages:

> ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"
> ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"

I'm currently investigation how to fix this.

I'm not so certain what configuration files you're referring to here.

Groetjes, Peter
