I'm sure we can agree on CRUX linux being at fault here (touching  
files when installing them strikes me as a very odd thing to do), but  
I don't think this patch is the way to go.

It's somewhat easy to (manually, even) save a lisp file in the same  
second its .fasl file is written, which will make ASDF think the file  
is up to date while it really isn't. So, I'd prefer to keep that check  
at a strict #'>, and fix CRUX Linux only.

Cheers,
