Description

(ql:quickload :lisp-stat) fails in Franz's Allegro Common Lisp 11.0 [64-bit macOS (Apple Silicon)]

Error message is: System "sb-cltl2" not found

Which makes sense, as that is an SBCL-specific system.

If I abort out of the sb-cltl2 load, it fails again with: "Dependency looping -- already tried to load sb-cltl2"

Once I get it loaded, I'm happy to run the tests in the ACL environment. I can probably fix most of the issues that come up...

Research direction

Start by reproducing ql:quickload :lisp-stat in Franz Allegro Common Lisp 11.0 on 64-bit Apple Silicon and inspect how the system declares or loads the sb-cltl2 dependency. Use the reported dependency-loop errors as the initial trace. Done means lisp-stat loads successfully in ACL and the test suite can run there.
