No, you did not read carefully what I said: ECL now relies on
***ASDF-BUNDLE***. ASDF-Bundle is a different library from the one we used
for building executables (ASDF-ECL), and it lives as a separate project,
http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/asdf/asdf-bundle.git though it
will probably become part of ASDF soon.

No, you were not using ASDF. You were using ASDF-ECL which was a modified
version of ASDF shipped with ECL.

You did not change anything, but ASDF has changed. The new library follows
a different naming policy and, since I do not develop it, I have little to
say.

-system is a suffix that ASDF-Bundle adds to the name of any library or
program (in this case maxima) that was built from whole libraries.

So are you telling me that our command is fine, and that the produced

Indeed. The name just reflects the protocol and sets of rules that the new
library uses for building executables and libraries. I believe the suffix
can be eliminated but I do not know how to do it right now.
