But there are drawbacks: each Lisp has its own command
line arguments, so it non-portable between Lisps.  Also,
FriCAS depends on some specific settings, when users try
to change such setting it willl either be ignored or
interfere with FriCAS work.

Currently, the problem is that FriCAS request sbcl to
preserve runtime options when creating executable.
This was done by Martin Rubey so that one can add
'--dynamic-space-size' during FriCAS build.  However
sbcl gives us only one chance to specify runtime
options: if we specify them at build time attempt
to give them during startup is ignered.  So we either
can give them during build time (current choice)
or during startup but not both.  We probably could
make this a bit smarter and preserve runtime
options during build only if explicitelely requested.
That way for normal build without runtime options user
would still have possiblity to specify them...
