Summary: SBCL does not like constant definition of +ffi-types+

Initial Comment:
SBCL signals "constant is being redefined " errors for +ffi-types+ and +ffi-styles+ in src/ffi-cffi.lisp, because the values of the constants are lists.
SBCL documentation explains the problem: http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Defining-Constants.html.

Yes, this happens to me on SBCL. I've been lazy and keep ignoring this. 
Will fix this.

Message:
The problem happens when ASDF compiles and then loads the file, because
SBCL evaluates DEFCONSTANTs in both compile time and load time.

Message:
Are you getting this because you are reloading src/ffi-cffi into your lisp?
