Removing asdf-bundle.lisp is definitely the right thing to do but that doesn't
put me out of my misery:
;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib64/ecl-12.12.1/asdf.fas"
;;; OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=2, Space=0, Speed=3, Debug=0
;;;
;;; End of Pass 1.An error occurred during initialization:
Component :MAXIMA not found.

At this stage I think some element of asdf-bundle have changed and I 
may need to
find someone knowledgeable with it to get it right.

I'll try to fill a bug with a patch today in bugzilla.
