Seems like it. The problems with the test suite probably have the same
core issue as SB-POSIX. You can rebuild just the contribs with

 sh make-target-contrib.sh &> log

and then look for the actual error (probably a failed test?) in log.
If you have trouble finding it, please feel free to compress the
logfile and send it here as an attachment.

Just to keep the list posted: I've been helping Daniel diagnose this,
and we've narrowed down the proximate cause: some parts of the system
call his home directory /Users/Username and others /Users/username --
which results (somehow, not yet sure about the details) in SBCL
initializing *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* using one, and DIRECTORY
canonicalizing the results using the other. ...which in turn causes
ENOUGH-NAMESTRING to fail to unparse results from DIRECTORY against
*D-P-D*, breaking the SB-POSIX test READDIR/DIRENT-NAME.

(I assume failures in the regular test suite to have similar pathologies.)
