There are a variety of problems. When ECL is built with gcc it uses a jump
table to optimize the compiler. See for instance
http://www.usenix.org/event/jvm01/gagnon/gagnon_html/node4.html
Now Apple is using LLVM as the internal compiler for GCC and ECL insists on
using it but llvm fails to compile to code properly.

Once this table is removed, though, other problems persist, but are
difficult to track -- not reproducible inside the debugger :-/ Will keep
investigating.
