The latest release(0.9.2) compiles well here, too

I'm using the development version of CFFI. Here's a list of all repos
you have to download to make it work(all Darcs):

http://common-lisp.net/project/alexandria/darcs/alexandria
http://common-lisp.net/~sionescu/repos/trivial-features
http://common-lisp.net/~sionescu/darcs/babel
http://common-lisp.net/~sionescu/repos/cffi

Also I'm using ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS to separate fasls from sources(it
generally works better than COMMON-LISP-CONTROLLER)
Finally, there's my ~/.eclrc which does little more than loading
ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS and creating my own -user package with a few
functions in it, nothing fancy

I've just noticed another interesting behaviour: compiling SWANK(SLIME's
CL side) works well, but if I try to compile it *after* I got that error
with CFFI, compiling swank-backend.lisp signals
Cannot unread the stream #<string-input stream from "s">.
the s being that of a #\space in GUESS-EXTERNAL-FORMAT
