[Ecls-list] ecl is linking unnecessarily to libintl.so (at least on OpenSolaris)

I think you just need to check in autoconf. It might depend on what version of 
Solaris one uses. It's far more portable then. I might want to build ECL on AIX 
at some point!

Note there's a report on sage-devel of a similar issue on Gentoo linux and ECL - 
in this case its

         /lib/libdl.so.2
         /lib/libm.so.6

though as I pointed out, for me on OpenSolaris even a hello world links with the 
maths library. It might be the same on Gentoo.
