Dear Peter, My fix to run asdf on gclcvs was to replace the unique instance of #'equalp by #'equal, in the internal temporary hash-table used to ensure name unicity. Names in asdf definitions are strings and symbols, aren't they? So there's no reason to use equalp, when equal works just as good as is more widely supported in hash-tables. Maybe you should do automated testing of c-l-c with all those many implementations. cl-launch is your friend in making shell script invocations that work uniformly on all c-l-c supported implementations :-) Automated testing helped me debug cl-launch.
