This is definitely an evidence that GMP failed to configure for your
system. There is a workaround, which is to tell the library to use C
instead of assembler. For instance, in my linux box I would type

gmp_build="none-apple-darwin" ../src/configure  --prefix=$HOME

By using "none" as a machine architecture, this is what it outputs at
configuration time
....
using ABI="long"
      CC="gcc -fPIC"
      CFLAGS="-O3"
      CPPFLAGS="-DNO_ASM"
      MPN_PATH="  generic"

Given that there are no other issues, ECL should build as in any other
platform, though computations with big integers will be a bit slower.
