If there is a problem compiling it is usually because a version of
cffi pretends to be uffi, and the cffi developers refuses to fix this.
http://www.mail-archive.com/cffi-devel@common-lisp.net/msg01656.html

If this is case, you might want to remind them to fix this on their
mailing list.

If it is not the case, I would double-check the BerkeleyDB version.
But first look for an evil file called uffi.asd but somewhere below
the cffi directory.
