The fix should be straightforward. fnv should rename its
:complex-double type to something like fnv::complex-double. I don't
have an explanation how this could be a new warning, since it has been
in CFFI for 5+ years.

That mystified me as well.  There is one other system in quicklisp from the same source (this is "middleangle" isn't it?), I think blapack, that gave the same error.  I don't understand why this doesn't occur under older versions of CFFI, like 0.10.6.
