Just for future reference, here is how I tested on android (assuming
you already have a cross-compiled ECL):

  adb push bin/ecl                  /data/local/tmp/
  adb push lib/libecl.so            /data/local/tmp/
  adb push lib/ecl-xx.x.x/encodings /data/local/tmp/
  adb push lib/ecl-xx.x-x/*.doc     /data/local/tmp/
  adb push lib/ecl-xx.x.x/*.asd     /data/local/tmp/
  adb push lib/ecl-xx.x.x/*.fas     /data/local/tmp/

edit last line of '<ecl>/src/tests/doit.lsp' changing #+(or) to #+(and), then do

  adb push <ecl>/src/tests /data/local/tmp/
  adb shell
  $ cd /data/local/tmp
  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/local/tmp
  $ chmod a+x ecl
  $ ./ecl
  > (ext:install-bytecodes-compiler)
  > (load "tests/doit.lsp")
