I wouldn't think so, but I'm not certain. As far as what UFFI does,
it's a thin layer above the lisp implementation. For CMU, I wonder if
UFFI should use CMUCL's equivalent of SBCL's
load-1-foreign. load-1-foreign loads just the .so file whereas CMUCL's
load-foreign invokes /usr/bin/ld.

It will return T as long as it finds the shared library.
