Patches for CCL and Clisp attached. ABCL fails to build with ASDF 3.3.4
and I have not seen an obvious error message in the logs, so this one
will need more investigation...

The Lisp systems of sbcl-* and ecl-* packages installed in a profile are
supposed to be already compiled and immutable, so recompiling them
anyway would require tweaking the ASDF configuration from inside SBCL to
remove the output translations for these systems.
When doing development, it might be more convenient to just use the
sources or source packages of every system that has to be recompiled.
