Build done with randomize_va_space set to one worked OK.  I have
now fetched version 7.1 of Boehm gc and installed it and re-build
ecl.  Apparently now ecl picked Fedora provided version of Boehm gc,
which seem to be version 7.0.  That looks messy, but the Fedora
gc package only installed .so library (no headers, no .a version),
so ECL was unable to use it.  Installing version 7.1 intalled
headers and .a library, so ECL use it, but for some reason
dynamic linker prefers system installed version.

Anyway, after that FriCAS build went fine and tests work (with
one expected failure).
