Hi.

Locally I can build sbcl-cl-freetype2 and ecl-origin without issue.

Concerning ecl-seedable-rng, there's something funny going on. The build
details on the CI list only 1 dependency (ecl-ironclad), but there
should be 3; ecl-cl-pcg and ecl-golden-utils are missing. And it is in
fact the ecl-cl-pcg dependency that fails to build (because of a test).
However, neither ecl-cl-pcg nor its dependencies have been updated
recently, so why did the CI need to rebuild it, and why did it start
failing?
