Yah. The inability to provide multiple options for shebang scripts is a pain.

#!sbcl --script

assumes that --core is either in the standard location
/usr/local/lib/sbcl or in a locate indicated by SBCL_HOME.

Since you have it in a non-standard location, and cron doesn't have
your usual environment set up, it can't find it.

Using

  SBCL_HOME=/usr/lib64/sbcl your-script

in cron should work, I think. I don't remember offhand if cron allow
you to set up the environment like that, but if it doesn't you can use
env for that -- or do

  sbcl --core /usr/lib64/sbcl/sbcl.core --script your-script

instead.
