[developers] ECL compilation

[Eric Nichols]

Greetings,

I can confirm that ecl 0.9h builds on amd64 architectures without this
patch.Perhaps this is a problem with the particular distribution you are 
using. I had success with it under Ubuntu Breezy using gcc 4.0. The only 
configure flag is set is --with-cmuformat. What compiler and 
distribution did you experience this problem with?
