The problem is that the flags "-L***" were mixed up at build time, so that
ECL might get linked against a pre-installed library or have a permanent
reference to the directory in which it was built. A mess.

I think I have fixed this. The problem is double: on the one hand, a lot of
different flags are required to build the different files (shared libraries,
FASL files, programs, etc). And this flags differ between build time and
installation time. On the other hand, even at build time (according to the
GNU standards), the user may decide to change the installation directory
by using "make prefix=...".

Hopefully, I got everything right this time.
