I worked around this by entering the build/ directory in the ECL sources
and issued 'gmake'. You should see libclos and the ecl binary being
build. Then I copied all the missing .a's into /usr/local/lib/ecl/

You probably have to add /usr/local/lib/ecl to your shared library
search path, so the runtime linker can find libecl.so. On FreeBSD this
works with 'ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/ecl'. There should perhaps be a
script that does this after OS startup.

Don't know what OS you're running, but if it supports autostarting
scripts in rc.d/ try something like this there:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start|restart)
    if [ -d /usr/local/lib/ecl ]; then
        /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/ecl
    fi
    ;;
stop)
    ;;
esac

The C interface seems pretty easy to use after a bit of trying out.
Still haven't figured out how to link the compiled lisp parts to the C
host application, though...
