asdf:image-op fails on sbcl and ccl when any system :depends-on :cffi-grovel

[Marco Heisig]

CFFI Version 0.17.1
SBCL 1.3.4, CCL 1.10
OS: Debian Linux 8.4
ASDF: 3.1.5
Quicklisp 2016-02-22

Creation of Lisp images and standalone programs via ASDF fails for (at least) SBCL and CCL as soon as :cffi-toolchain is added as a system dependency. This bug also affects cl-launch.

It seems commit 2de8ece51b20ec0da177f8e38febb3127b1dafc2 in toolchain/asdf-compat.lisp introduced an around method for COMPONENT-DEPENDS-ON (IMAGE-OP SYSTEM) that calls ASDF/BUNDLE:MAKE-LIBRARY-SYSTEM. However ASDF defines MAKE-LIBRARY-SYSTEM only for (or clasp ecl mkcl). The other Lisps (at least SBCL and CCL) fail with a UNDEFINED-FUNCTION error.

I attached a minimal lisp program that reproduces the problem.

That commit message mentions that "ASDF 3.1.6 is required, but
backward compatibility code is provided at least back to ASDF 3.1.2.".
Can you test with version ASDF 3.1.6?

Ok, testing with ASDF 3.1.6 on SBCL succeeds and my problem is solved.
It is up to you to decide whether requiring at least ASDF 3.1.6 is a
CFFI bug or not.

Thank you for your quick reply,

IIUC, this is a recent ASDF feature that was partially implemented in ASDF 3.1.5 and then fully implemented in ASDF 3.1.6, so I guess it's not a CFFI bug. Marking the bug as "not a bag". Thanks!
