I usually build with an extenal gmp and boehm_gc, so I am unlikely to 
hit those issues.

I hit one issue with a boehm_gc from the system not in a standard place:

I ran ./configure --with-system-gmp --enable-boehm=system 
--prefix=/home/mabshoff/maxima+ecl/ecl-0.9l-x86-64 with CPPFLAGS so that 
  my boehm_gc was picked up. This leads to

In file included from /home/mabshoff/maxima+ecl/ecl-0.9l/src/c/dpp.c:77:
/home/mabshoff/maxima+ecl/ecl-0.9l/build/ecl/config.h:51:16: error:

Adding $(CPPFLAGS) to the makefile rule for dpp in build/c/Makefile 
fixes this.

$(DPP): $(srcdir)/dpp.c $(srcdir)/symbols_list2.h
         if test -f ../CROSS-DPP; then touch dpp; else \
         $(TRUE_CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -fPIC 
-Dlinux -I$(srcdir) $(CPPFLAGS) 
-I/home/mabshoff/maxima+ecl/ecl-0.9l/build -I./ $(DEFS) $(srcdir)/dpp.c 
  -o $@ ; \
         fi

This is obviously not a proper fix since it needs to be done in the auto 
tools somewhere. If you have trouble reproducing this I will submit a 
proper patch this weekend.
