Fare> Oh, I used uiop:dump-image, which apparently always uses :executable t. Fare> Maybe it's a mistake, but that's what released in 3.0.2.Can't say if that is a mistake or not, but that certainly explains it. I actually would prefer, though, that :executable were not the default, for exactly the issue you ran in to
In this case, either dump-image should accept separate :executable and :standalone arguments, and/or use :executable executable on CMUCL, and :init-function restore-image only when standalone. Backward compatibility is a bitch, whereby :executable should default to T where practical, and :standalone default to executable where executable-p. Ugh. I hate backward compatibility; cl-launch is probably the only client beside ASDF itself, and I will update it if the interface to ASDF changes.
Anyway, this is on the new maintainer's plate, now.
