its a "top-level" statement inside the file that is being compiled  
and loaded. the external lib (/usr/local/lib/libportmidi.dylib) does  
appear in the second gcc step when i compile the lisp file:

;;; Calling the C compiler...
;;; Note: Invoking external command:
;;; gcc  -g -O2 -fPIC -fno-common  -fstrict-aliasing -Ddarwin -O "-I/ 
usr/local/lib/ecl/" -w -c "/Lisp/portmidi/cffi-portmidi.c" -o "/Lisp/ 
portmidi/cffi-portmidi.o"
;;; Note: Invoking external command:
;;; gcc -o "/Lisp/portmidi/cffi-portmidi.fas" -L"/usr/local/lib/ecl/"  
"/Lisp/portmidi/cffi-portmidi.o"   -bundle    -lecl   -lm   -lgmp / 
usr/local/lib/libportmidi.dylib
;;; Finished compiling /Lisp/portmidi/cffi-portmidi.lisp.

;;; Loading "/Lisp/portmidi/cffi-portmidi.fas"
#<ASDF:SYSTEM "portmidi" 22335376>

however the entry points dont appear to be defined after the file is  
loaded. this is my cffi definition:

	(cffi:defcfun ("Pm_Initialize" pm-initialize) pm-error)

and when i call my function

	CM> (pm:pm-initialize)
