So may we expect that the bytecodes compiler will NEVER be active out of

we want it, not make sure it's off when we don't (for the purposes of
testing)?

No, what I meant is that you have to make sure whether the version contains a bytecompiler (it is about 5 or 6 months old), and whether it was built at all (there are ways to suppress components from ECL during configuration)

Unfortunately, I am lost in the mire of RUN-SHELL-COMMAND, and it'll be
a while before I can get to this (git can have multiple branches --- me,
not so much!).

No problem. If I find time I will try to add the options for ECL.

If you find time, will you please look into tests/run-tests.sh? And also tests/compile-asdf.lisp? That's where the tests start up. I am thinking we might modify the tests so that it accepts both

ecl and ecl-bytecompiler

as lisp implementation names.
