This certainly seems plausibly to be a bug. Please post it at
[GitLab](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/issues) and I will
have a look at it as time permits. A test case would be a real plus --
I'm much more likely to get on this if I don't also have to create the
test case myself.

Hello,
I may have discovered a bug in ASDF.
In the function COMPUTE-ACTION-STAMP, first the IN-STAMPS and then the
OUT-STAMPS are collected. When one of the last write dates are not
available, T is returned by GET-FILE-STAMP, which is deemed infinitely
old by TIMESTAMP<=.
But suppose that all the IN-STAMPS and at least one of the OUT-STAMPS
are not available, then LATEST-IN and EARLIEST-OUT are both T, and the
wisest thing would probably be rebuild everything, but TIMESTAMP<=
returns T so nothing is built.
What do you think?
Andrea Monaco
