I think at some time I have seen it (namely files which were recompiled
whenever I loaded the system), too. However, I did check now and cannot
find it anymore - sorry.

That would certainly cause a problem -- as it would with ordinary
`make' -- but I've definitely seen this behavior even with correct mod
times.

I see this with my protocol buffer project

http://github.com/brown/protobuf

Each time I restart my Lisp and load the protobuf system, some files are
needlessly recompiled. Unfortunately, the protobuf ASDF config file is
complicated, so it may be the recompilation problem is caused by bugs in the
system definition.
