OK, but then, I may as well drop the ECL-specific code I inserted to support upgrade from an older ASDF.
I would say that we can focus on ensuring that ASDF can be upgraded for ECL >= 9.12.1 and leave the older versions out.
Also, I deplore that errors occuring during initialization leave very little chance of debugging to the normal ECL user; I wouldn't even know where to insert break points for gdb.
The ECL command line arguments -load and -eval are not intended to open a debugger. Their primary use is scripting, where you do not want interaction with the user. A different issue is whether you would get a debugger doing the same thing in the command line -- probably the extensions (ASDF, sockets, etc) are currently compiled without debug information, but I would have to look it up.
