I investigated a bit.

Daniel, ASDF is supposed to automatically detect asdf.a and you don't need to define a prebuild-asdf.asd, which would be quite awkward to substitute to asdf. The reason why the autodetection failed was because you renamed asdf.a to libasdf.a. I can modify asdf/bundle to find it in 3.2.0.2.

Chris, loading one version of asdf from source then having it look for the asdf.a of the implementation is just wrong. If you're going to upgrade asdf, please do it the right way, i.e. put your asdf.asd in a configured location.

That said, your test case does trigger a different bug in my current working version of asdf (which when explicitly given a dependency on asdf, currently tries to link both asdf/defsystem and asdf, which causes a conflict). So I have more work to do about it for 3.2.0.2.

I have many deadlines the next two weeks, so I cannot guarantee a prompt fix; and then the testing situation with Robert is unclear, so I don't know when next release will be. Hopefully, 3.2.1 in February and 3.3.0 in March, but who knows?
