bug#44548: Acknowledgement (SBCL build system fails to pacakge cl-environments, generic-cl.)

[Guillaume Le Vaillant]

It looks like the files in "src/common/" must be compiled in a specific
order because some files depend on others, but the system definition has
neither the ":depends-on xyx" nor the ":serial t" indications. It causes
the functions defined in "src/common/util.lisp" not being available when
compiling "src/common/macro-util.lisp".
I'm not sure why it fails with asdf-build-system/sbcl but it succeeds
with Quicklisp though; different versions of ASDF maybe, or slightly
different initialization of ASDF...

By adding the missing ":serial t" I was able to build sbcl-cl-environments:
