No, it is not a bug. Classes and types used during method definition
and can not always be checked at compile time. The fact that other CLs
support fixnum as a class is not standard, it is a feature.

Again, this is not a bug: you cannot call a symbol from a C package if
it has not been loaded. COMPILE-FILE and COMPILE, on the other hand,
are standard functions and have to be provided by ECL.

I will check that

The latter. It has not been updated to the new location of files.

I will check this. Thanks for reporting.
