No worries, I figured that much :-).

but did you "make install" the host ECL, remove build/ directory,
configure for cross compilation (once), customize ECL_TO_RUN in
build/cross_config directory and run configure and make after that?
Your error really looks like your build has picked some older ECL
version (i.e from /usr/bin/ecl if you have ECL installed from the
repositories).

Native compilation is always the most certain way get things working.
In any case when you succeed (or fail!) please let us know what you
did.
