Packages should be configurable from _outside_ the sources. Indeed, most of
the times sources may be read-only and the compilation directory a
read/write one. Or one may have one set of sources and many different
builds. Try the same from a different directory, like

"/path/to/ecl/with a space/in/it/configure" --prefix=....
