I've been adding support for ASDF to save deferred warnings (typically, forward function references) in a file, so that if you do an incremental compilation, warnings from previously compiled files are still correctly handled at the end of the virtual with-compilation-unit.
I've added support for SBCL and CCL myself, which was made much easier by being able to read the source code to their compilers, but I don't feel like groveling through four more free sofware compilers. Would you be interested in implementing the same feature for ABCL, or at least in guiding me on how to do so? The code is mainly in asdf/lisp-build.lisp functions reify-deferred-warnings unreify-deferred-warnings reset-deferred-warnings.
Our compiler is fairly foreign to me as well, but this is as good a task as any to get more familiar.
I plan on spending some time today to look into your changes, at least in assistance of getting a version of ASDF 3 merged into ABCL trunk. If you ask more specific questions on #abcl, we should be able to provide some additional assistance.
