Hi,

ECL still declares IEEE floating-point support even if it is disabled:

        "IEEE-FLOATING-POINT",
+#endif

        "ANSI-CL",


I have also noticed one more threading issue: if the main thread
decides to quit while some other threads are actively doing something,
they are likely to crash once ecl_library_close_all unmaps the files
that contain the code, and output a few internal error messages before
the process finally dies. I worked around it by installing a cleanup hook,
but something probably should be done in the ECL core as well.
Since this is already low-level shutdown, it probably may declare that
anyone needing intelligent cleanup should install a hook, and simply
terminate all threads with SIGKILL.
