Some Linux distributions now build their packages with
-Werror=format-security, in order to catch security vulnerabilities.
This makes ECL fail while running configure.  This patch fixes the
problem:

diff --git a/src/aclocal.m4 b/src/aclocal.m4
index d49321a..0f34d9a 100644
--- a/src/aclocal.m4
+++ b/src/aclocal.m4

   fclose(f);
   f = fopen("conftestval","w");
   if (f == NULL) exit(1);
-  fprintf(f, output);
+  fputs(output, f);
   fclose(f);
   exit(0);
 }
