Looks like an old bug:

http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/cmdist/2007-May/004084.html

I did a quick build including osc and seems to work (includes a
workaround for the package locking bug)

http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Package-Lock-Dictionary.html

I used "without-package-locks" when compiling and loading osc. 

Tested only to the extent that it loads in a chroot. 
Hope it works for you.
