From SBCL, CLISP and ECL you can pass the :build-operation "program-op" argument to the (asdf:defsystem ...) to generate a stand-alone binary. What does ABCL do when you set that option? I can't find any output files, is it just plain unsupported?
ASDF documentation on program-op
I've found various articles about how to generate a stand-alone executable using ABCL, but I'm curious about why I don't see any effects from the actual ASDF standard way of doing so.
