make t l=cmucl t=test-encodings.script
which was a different PCL bug from the above (without same workaround)
but possibly also triggered by the non-standard declaim.
*** `#5(1 ,@`(2 3)))` returns #(1 2 3),
rather than #(1 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3) or even better #(1 2 3 3 3).
** XCL has bad bugs:
make-pathname doesn't handle :type nil properly and
has massive lossage in logical-pathname support.
If using block () and return in search-for-system-definition
instead of return-from, XCL mistakenly has the return jump
to the end of the try function or something.
It also takes a long time for errors to propagate into a debugging REPL —
Maybe O(n^3) behavior or worse in walking the C++ stack?
The backtrace frames may contains unprintable objects.
make-pathname fails to copy the version from the defaults.
(make-pathname :host "ASDFTEST" :directory '(:absolute "system2" "module4")
:name nil :type nil) fails to handle the logical-pathname-ness of ASDFTEST.

** GCL is almost working again; but implementation bugs remain.
See November 2013 discussion on gcl-devel.
* Another GCL compiler bug:
when I changed the definition of getcwd from
(let ((*default-pathname-defaults* #p"")) (truename #p"")) to
(let ((*default-pathname-defaults* *nil-pathname*)) (truename *nil-pathname*))
to guard against e.g. a logical-pathname context while loading asdf
and parsing #p"", calls to getcwd result in a segfault.
* An another bug: gcl refuses dynamic-extent declaration on functions.
uiop/stream.lisp: #-gcl (declare (dynamic-extent ,@(when
before `(#',beforef)) ,@(when after `(#',afterf))))
* (typep p 'logical-pathname) should be T if p has a logical-pathname host.
* apropos is case-sensitive and returns a same symbol many times
* compile-file fails to return proper secondary values in case of non-style WARNING.
* (pathname-directory #p"foo/") is incorrectly ("foo") instead of (:RELATIVE "foo")
* Missing: chdir, combine-fasls, and plenty more UIOP functions.
* Do whatever it takes to pass the asdf tests, add the above?
* Have (require "asdf") and (require "ASDF") both work.
* Trying to uiop:slurp-stream-forms from a stream with #+(or) :foo
(or read-file-forms from an file with same) results in an error,
rather than nil. This is probably a bug in #+ processing.
Unhappily, debian creates such a file in
/etc/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/01-common-lisp-controller.conf
* Tests that try to catch an error fail (but catching a warning succeeds),
which suggests brokenness in handler-bind and/or error.
