I have found a workaround, so I would like to drop this issue.

I believe the issue is due to a bug in a corner case lisp-unit2 that does not show up under normal circumstances.  For instance, lisp-unit2 compiles in the cl-test-grid (link).  

I posted an issue on LispUnit2's GitHub.

Hello,

I am hitting a bug when loading lisp-unit2 as it (still) depends on the
depreciated variable *systems-being-operated* (I did submit a ticket
<https://github.com/AccelerationNet/lisp-unit2/issues/10>, but it is as yet
not addressed). So I am trying to fix it myself.

The *system-being-operated* variable was replaced by the boolean
*in-operate* in 7c3f979c
<https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/commit/7c3f979c0db4ac5f224ca634ce9ec5cb9d7cdf28>
.

*systems-being-operated* was a hash with a list of systems or NIL, while
*in-operate* is a boolean (T or NIL).

Does some other variable contain the information that
*systems-being-operated* held?

Thank you,

Mirko
