For some reason, this is not the case after loading your cm.asd file. So, I had a look at that file and noticed that it contains much much more than the *.asd files I saw before (which usually consist of a single asdf:defsystem call. So, it is a bit difficult to figure out why the sources are not compiled.

The  CM tar ball version 2.10.0 I just downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/commonmusic/files/cm/ does not contain this file. Luckily I had this file still somewhere else, but perhaps the tar ball should be updated?
