The warnings on *LIBRARY* and *MODULE* file appear also in CMUCL 18d.
I have not been able to see why.  They do not hurt anyways.

This is more serious.  I think the mess comes in the second
conditionalization (where the pre-cltl2 DEFSYSTEM is trying to muck
the "LISP" package).

Try to put a :ecl in the following form (line 857).

#-(or (and :CMU (not :new-compiler))
      :vms
      :mcl
      :lispworks
      :clisp
      :sbcl
      :cormanlisp
      :ecl  ; <== New.
      (and allegro-version>= (version>= 4 1)))

I do not have ECL installed.  Please let me know asap if this fixes
things.

Cheers
