As an alternative, you may be able to set the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux (or something similar on your OS) to locate
libraries; e.g. if this is a Linux/Apache combo, in your <Directory>
section, you may be able to add something like this…

<Directory /cgi-bin>
   SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /var/www/cgi-lib/
    ...
</Directory>
… with the appropriate directory, of course.

With Gnu LD, you may also be able to hard-code a preferred RPath into the
executable file itself using the LD flag like -rpath=/var/www/cgi-lib — you
may be able to pass this via the ASDF:MAKE-BUILD :LD-FLAGS … ?

By the by, … how are you trying to run asdf:make-build? Did you in fact
call it with :MONOLITHIC T or :TYPE :PROGRAM?
(I'm sure someone far better versed in the ECL side of things may be able
to help better, but that does seem to be the first thing necessary. :-) )
