[Ecls-list] ECL-0.9c bugfix release (with open bugs)

[Robert Lehr]

Downloaded it.  Built it.  v0.9b did.  Now it will not build against my local
gmp, as configured in the RPM spec file.  It in when linking.  Removed
'--local-gmp' and it built normally.  The errors were displayed.

I removed the 'libecl.a' from line #57 in the {src,build}/Makefile*.  Executed
make and got these errors.

Now when I try to link my programs against ECL, it fails because it cannot find
libclos.  I noticed the the '--export-dynamic' linker option was removed
'ecl-0.9c/src/aclocal.m4'.  When I restore that option, it breaks gmp somehow.

After that, I removed the '-lclos' and the '-llsp' from 'ecl-config'.  It seemed
to link normally, except that 'ld.so' cannot find 'libecl.so'.

This build worked with v0.9b.  So I am stuck with that.  But I want to use v0.9c
for the compiler/load fix; that bug is biting me.  As much as I do not want to
do it, I can work around the bug temporarily.

I am too tired to effectively isolate this problem myself.  Also, I am focused
on getting ECL linked into my program, i.e. learning the C interface.  I hope
that an easy fix is available.
