I almost fixed the 'official' asdf to support all the features the ecl provided one has. I think having a 'special' asdf for ecl is asking for compatibility problems.
That's a valid fix indeed. Now introducing maintenance problems instead :-)
(2) it somehow gets cmp.fas and sysfun.lsp to systematically load verbosely in a way that isn't hushed up by flag -q resulting in an unremovable banner
This after some searching turns out to be caused because common-lisp-controller.lisp uses the function 'compile-file'. As the clc enabled ecl includes this it causes these messages:
;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"
I'm currently investigation how to fix this.
Can't you use a :verbose nil option when loading these files, and/or set *load-verbose* to nil?
(3) compiling configuration files everytime can be a performance issue, in addition to requiring to load the compiler.
I'm not so certain what configuration files you're referring to here.
I admit I don't remember anymore :-( Maybe I was thinking of sysfun.lsp.
