Re: unwanted recompilation with :CFFI-GROVEL-FILE

[JTK]

Thank you for the suggestion to upgrade ASDF, Stelian.

I upgraded my builtin SBCL asdf.fasl from 3.3.4 to 3.3.4.1 (git version) with a 
manual replacement of fasl.

This 

- fixes my toy test case on OSX+SBCL (no more unnecessary recompile)

- does not fix osicat on OSX+SBCL

- but both osicat and toy test case work in ccl64+OSX with no ASDF fixes needed.

- but osicat works without reloading in SBCL+Linux64, again without an ASDF 
upgrade.

So it looks like it could be some kind of glitch in asdf or OSX SBCL (up to 
1.4.9).

It turns out to be an intermediate-version SBCL bug, fixed by upgrading to 
2.0.3.  

Sorry for this additional email, but I thought it better to close the issue out.
