I may be mistaken, but CLEM seems to be broken. The implementation of
REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE do not return a class
object but rather call a function that returns a list

(defmethod initialize-instance :around
    ((class standard-matrix-class) &rest all-keys &key
direct-superclasses &allow-other-keys)
  [....]
  (finalize-inheritance class)
  (fill-standard-matrix-class-slots-from-ancestors class all-keys))

The appropriate definitions should end as follows

(defmethod initialize-instance :around
    ((class standard-matrix-class) &rest all-keys &key
direct-superclasses &allow-other-keys)
  [....]
  (finalize-inheritance class)
  (fill-standard-matrix-class-slots-from-ancestors class all-keys)
  class)

With this, CLEM seems to build just fine.
