I would rather write is as follows:

* LIBS with all system-wide installed libraries required by all ECL
  code, including system-wide GMP & GC.
* LOCAL_LIBS with -leclgmp and/or -leclgc to locally built libraries that
  aren't available system-wide.

Your LOCAL_LIBS is completely equivalent to CORE_LIBS.

The first ones is a placeholders for a feature (locatives) that was 
dropped out on the first port of ECL but which I would like to 
eventually switch on again. --enable-runtime can disappear, since it is 
no more costly to build the shared library than to also build a ECL 
executable. Finally, --with-oldloop is there for people who might have 
concerns about the license with which the LOOP macro is distributed. It 
switches on again the old implementation of LOOP. The X11 stuff is no 
longer required, but it does no harm, since at some point somebody might 
want to port the NCLX library to ECL...
