Let me consider the following simple session:

  $ cat my-time1.cl
  (in-package :cl-user)
  (defpackage :my-time 
    (:use #:cl)
    (:export #:*ut-offset*))
  (in-package :my-time)
  (defvar *ut-offset* 0)
  $ cat my-time-test1.cl
  (in-package :cl-user)
  (defpackage :my-time-test
    (:use #:cl #:excl #:my-time))
  (in-package :my-time-test)
  (eval-when (:execute :load-top-level)
    (setq *ut-offset* 3600))
  $ mlisp
  cl-user(1): :cload my-time1
  ;;; Compiling file my-time1.cl
  ;;; Writing fasl file my-time1.fasl
  ;;; Fasl write complete
  ; Fast loading /tmp/my-time1.fasl
  cl-user(2): :cload my-time-test1
  ;;; Compiling file my-time-test1.cl
  ;;; Writing fasl file my-time-test1.fasl
  ;;; Fasl write complete
  ; Fast loading /tmp/my-time-test1.fasl
  cl-user(3): my-time:*ut-offset*
  0
  cl-user(4): 

The question is simple. Why is the *ut-offset* 0? I'd think it should
be 3600, shouldn't it? Or did I make another blunder?

If I

  :ld my-time-test1.cl

instead of 

  :cload my-time-test1

the *ut-offset* is 3600. Why it isn't when I load compiled file? It
seems that

  (eval-when (:execute :load-top-level)
    (setq *ut-offset* 3600))

doesn't work. However I'm at my wits' end to understand why.

Using ACL80

Because the right keyword is :LOAD-TOPLEVEL

Of course. What a blunder I made!
