Is there a mechanism in CFFI to enable this if define-foreign-library cannot be used?

If you really want it to signal an error, you could add a clause such as (t (:or)). E.g.:

(define-foreign-library sdl-glue (:windows "lispbuilder-sdl-glue.dll") (t (:or)))

In this case, I suppose you could also do something like:

(defparameter *glue-loaded-p* #+windows t #-windows nil)

Or, perhaps even better:

(defparameter *glue-loaded-p* (foreign-library-loaded-p 'sdl-glue))
