I do not have problems running individual test files. Tests do have
dependencies on commodity functions, such as those that implement
compiler test cases and the like. However, once you know this, it is
not difficult to just use a given set of tests. My script "run_this"
lives in the ansi/ tests suite directory and I can perfectly do
./run-this compile-file and use it

#!/bin/sh

cat | ecl -norc <<EOF
(load "gclload1.lsp")
(load "$1")

(in-package :cl-test)

;;; These two tests will misbehave if the tests are being
;;; invoked from a file that is being loaded, so remove them
(when *load-pathname*
  (mapc #'regression-test:rem-test '(load-pathname.1 load-truename.1)))

(time (regression-test:do-tests))

(cl-user::quit)

EOF
