Sounds like a good guess to me. If he's compiling the using program,
the symbol STRCAT will get INTERN'd in the using code's package
*before* the REQUIRE & IMPORT get done. I'll bet the following
would work better:

    (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
      (require 'string)
      (import 'string::strcat))

    (strcat "mark"    " carter"    " was here")
