They are completely harmless.

For the record, ECL has to be compiled in two passes. The first one
builds the libeclmin.a files so that functions call each other with
fixed addresses. The second part uses a version of external.h where
ECL_API is defined so that code know the ECL functions belong to a
shared library.

There is an #ifdef statement in ecl.h in which the right definition
for ECL_API is chosen, depending on whether the code is built with
-DECL_API or not (this marks the different passes). Apparently, a
statement #undef, prior to the redefinition of ECL_API, is ignored by
the compiler, causing this warning.

But, as I said, it is harmless.
