Thanks for the notice, Aleksej.

In this case we'll have to change src/Makefile.am (not src/Makefile.in
since that is generated from the .am file).

Jim --- I assume that you tried to convince ECL to output to some
file other than "maxima" and it cannot do so ...
Is it going to work OK to change src/Makefile.am as suggested above?
