 Replying to [ticket:38709 kpreid@…]:
 > It would also be nice if the “broken binaries” mechanism recognized a
 broken maxima, but I have no idea whether it generalizes in that way.

 No, it does not. To add support for this we would have to re-implement
 parts of the SBCL loader, and that hasn't been done and I also doubt it is
 feasible to do so for every runtime we have. Running every binary
 installed by MacPorts to test whether it loads correctly is also not an
 option.
