Ecl does not dump the image - in other words the compilation environment is not part of the final executable. If the setup system is not a dependency of a "dumped" system, still its package is referenced from the latter, then this will happen. If the setup is indirect dependency of a dumped system, then it is most likely asdf bug, otherwise it is an expected behavior.
If you do not reference setup system package from a dumped system, then something fishy is going on, i.e system definition files are included in program op for some reason.

Hello,
I'm cross-posting because I don't know if the issue is related to ASDF or ECL. I'm using the most recent repos of both.
When dumping a very simple system defined like this:
(asdf:defsystem :simple :depends-on (:net.didierverna.clon) :components ((:file "simple")) :entry-point "simple:main")
with (asdf:operate 'asdf:program-op :simple),
I'm getting a runtime error with the executable: Condition of type: SIMPLE-PACKAGE-ERROR There exists no package with name "NET.DIDIERVERNA.CLON.SETUP" No restarts available.
Top level in: #<process TOP-LEVEL 0x10a821f80>.
So it seems that the net.didierverna.clon.setup system is not dumped in the executable.
In Clon, the dependency on setup is indirect: net.didierverna.clon <- net.didierverna.clon.core net.didierverna.clon.core <- net.didierverna.clon.setup
If I add an explicit dependency on setup in the :simple ASDF system above like this:
:depends-on (:net.didierverna.clon.setup :net.didierverna.clon))
the problem goes away. This doesn't happen with the 5 other Lisp implementations that I've tested.
Also, it may be worth mentioning that Clon's setup system gets a special treatment. It's loaded explicitly at the top of several .asd files like this (with the utmost disrespect for the Almighty ASDF Gods recommendations):
(asdf:load-system :net.didierverna.clon.setup)
I'm wondering if this may have something to do with the problem.
Thanks!
