you can retry just that test with:
ASDF_UPGRADE_TEST_TAGS="REQUIRE"
ASDF_UPGRADE_TEST_METHODS="'load-asdf-lisp'load-asdf-fasl" ./test/\
run-tests.sh -u mkcl
or more interactively (and maybe with rlwrap or in emacs), start with:
mkcl -norc
then copy/paste:
(load "test/script-support.lisp") (asdf-test::da) (test-upgrade
'load-asdf-lisp'load-asdf-fasl "REQUIRE")

The whole MKCL process has hit the OS imposed limit on the size of the stack.

A call to "ulimit -s" at the shell prompt should give you a number that when

multiplied by 1024 should be very close to the "stack size" claimed here above.

Exhausting 8 Meg of stack is usually sign of some form of infinite recursion in the program

so I would not even advise to attempt to grow the stack...

I'll try to investigate further.
