No, the problem is that the -compile option was broken by a recent ANSI 
compatibility fix in COMPILE-FILE. I have fixed this.

The problem with ECL's current FFI is that it cannot create interfaces 
to foreign functions on the fly. Hence, LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY does not 
make any sense at all: you have to link your compiled files against the 
library from which you want to obtain the symbols.
