I don't understand what the presence of asdf3 has to do with the 
compilation of maxima. It comes with lisp, particularly with sbcl
in your case (or my case). So the problem is to enable asdf3 in the
compilation of sbcl if it is not the case. It may be that it is not the 
case under windows due to potential bugs, but i doubt it. On my machine
(linux) i have sbcl-1.3.13, that i have compiled myself, and it comes
with ASDF 3.1.5 which is there without any particular intervention
from me. I know that Roland Salz had problems with his asdf under 
Windows, but he was able to upgrade it to a more recent version, which
solved his problems. As far as maxima is concerned it is just a 
collection of macros and functions on top of lisp, but you can access 
all functionalities of the underlying lisp from within maxima.
For example, you can issue
:lisp(require 'asdf)
from maxima. If maxima is compiled with sbcl it will work.
