If for some reason you need to CLC to be compatible with older
versions of SBCL, I use code like below:
 
(let ((file-kind-fun
           (or (find-symbol "NATIVE-FILE-KIND" :sb-impl)
               (find-symbol "UNIX-FILE-KIND" :sb-unix))))
  (when file-kind-fun
     (funcall file-kind-fun path-string)))
