Obvious misunderstanding

Maxima isn't built with ASDF right now, but for ECL it *is* built with
ASDF currently.

It is adviced to move ASDF logic to defsystem file (./src/maxima.system)
and to "./configure.in"

I'm not familiar with configure.in, but simply copying logic from other
lisp implementation (e.g."clisp") should work, isn't it?
