Ive had this error a tons of times. (the cant copy
from /tmp/somerandomname to /tmp/somerandomname)

It usually means either:
(a) it cant find a library that you linked the compiled fas with 
(b) the compiled fas uses an unreferenced symbol in the library you
linked with (it cant find it)
(c) the library you linked the compiled fas with cant find other
libraries it links to.

i believe in this case, if i remember correctly, the problem is number
(b) (look on the mailing list, i think i pointed out somewhere that ecl
and usocket dont work on a platform, windows i guess)

I suspect that when ecl is able to use popen or similar to get the
actual error output things will be much easier to debug. Starting ecl
from the command line is the only way i know of to see errors in
compilation and you wont even be able to see errors like the copy above
since those happen when you attempt to load the fas not when compiling.
