PING.
Here's an updated version of my patch, with fixes for monolithic-lib-op.
Should I create a pull request on github instead?
Note that the static linking magic works on Windows and Linux but not BSD (but that's no regression).

Here is a patch that will make CFFI play better with ASDF bundles. This allows delivery with a single .so and/or .a file for all the wrappers in a system, which can be automatically linked into ECL (and in the future, in SBCL or other implementations, for application delivery).
Also, report for a bug, not fixed in the attached patch: compiling, linking, etc., should be atomic, by using temporary pathnames; otherwise, there is a race condition when multiple processes try to execute a script that depends on a CFFI library. Recent-enough ASDF 3.1.2 provides with-temporary-file to help, and 3.1.5 uses it internally for its own targets, but some implementations still lag behind with ASDF 3.0.x, and ASDF can't backwards-compatibly use with-temporary-file for you, so you must use it yourself.
This patch also drops support for ASDF 2 or earlier, because backwards compatibility is hard, and not necessary: today, all implementations provide ASDF 3.
