No. Why does this have to happen at compile time? These are dynamic libraries, right? I can change DLLs and a binary application using the DLL still works, right? How? By resolving things at runtime. I think there is a misunderstanding here somewhere. Have you checked with CMUCL people to understand this needless requirement?

SBCL fixes this by using something called a linkage table, which is not available on all platforms yet IIRC.

I suppose CMUCL could implement something similar instead of hardcoding the function addresses when compiling alien-funcall forms.
