I'm getting the same problem, after ./configure --prefix=/home/dietz.
This is on Red Hat Linux 7.3, with gcc 2.96.

The errors appear to be of the kind illustrated by this fragment
(of list.c):

#line 553
cl_object cl_subst(int narg, cl_object new_obj, cl_object old_obj, cl_object tree, ...)
{
#line 553

	saveTEST;
#line 556
	static cl_object KEYS[3] = {(cl_object)(cl_symbols+1162), (cl_object)(cl_symbols+1163), 
(cl_object)(cl_symbols+1129)};
	cl_object test;
	cl_object test_not;
	cl_object key;


This gave the errors:

/home/dietz/ecls/src/c/list.d: In function `cl_subst':
/home/dietz/ecls/src/c/list.d:556: parse error before `static'
/home/dietz/ecls/src/c/list.d:557: `ARGS' undeclared (first use in this function)

It looks like you're trying to put a local variable declaration after
a statement, which is illegal in C (but not in C++).
