I took a look at "mondo.asd" and I think the 'make-cli-executable' phase
could be something like the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
  (build-program
   (string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out") "/bin/mondo")
   outputs
   #:dependencies '("mondo/command")
   #:entry-program '((mondo/cli:main))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, the 'create-swank-server' function in "src/swank/server.lisp"
tries to run the ros program, which fails because it does not exist.
Maybe you could ask upstream if another way to start the swank server
could be added to the code in case ros is not available.
