With this configuration, running ECL on the command-line gives me this:

ASDF could not load sockets because Error while trying to load definition for system sockets from pathname /usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/sockets.asd: No applicable method for SOURCE-FILE-TYPE with arguments of types
COMPILED-FILE

Did you make a _clean_ build of ecl? I normally get this when rebuilding on a previous build directory. The modules file is bogus and the *.asd files are not properly generated because ASDF deletes its packages when reloading itself during the build process.
