Well, the program is currently not very clever and it simply passes all flags 
that were used to build ECL. It is indeed difficult to distinguish which 
flags should be in ecl-config, and which should not. Either ECL should know
all the configuration flags from GCC, or one would need to have CFLAGS
and COPTFLAGS, or something like that.
