I'm not sure it is allowed to use defsystem in a .lisp file — maybe add :pathname nil so at least it doesn't try to associate the current-lisp-file-pathname's to it? Or else put it in its own .asd file?

That's the entire defsystem. But it's inside the file https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/blob/master/tests/pcl.lisp
The entire error message (sorry for not including it earlier):

I guess maybe that defsystem should be in its own file that pcl.lisp loads? I have a vague memory that you helped fix some similar issues with some asdf defsystems that I had, that were working fine but stopped working after some upgrade, maybe to 3.2.x.

Maybe the circularity is at a wider level. What is the complete error message? The complete set of .asd files? Are you using defsystem-depends-on anywhere? Or manually loading .asd's from other .asd's? How can I reproduce?

The following defsystem worked in asdf 3.2.1 but no longer works in 3.3.0. The error message doesn't really help in figuring out what's circular. And I just can't see what's circular.
