No, it doesn't:

  ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 0.7b

  ;;; Compiling defsystem.lisp.
  ;;; Compiling (EVAL-WHEN (COMPILE LOAD ...)).
  Invalid macro call to IN-PACKAGE.
  Broken at EVAL.

I also tried the patched version Juan José Garcia Ripoll posted at
<http://ecls.sourceforge.net/download.html>. This one compiles but it
didn't get me much further:

  Cannot find the external symbol *CENTRAL-REGISTRY* in #<"MAKE" package>.
  Top level.
  >> (do-external-symbols (s (find-package "MAKE")) (print s))
  NIL

In both cases I used the CVS version of ECL downloaded after Juans
message yesterday.

Cheers,
Edi.
