ATM I am not up to date concerning ECL. The newset ECL is 9.8.4.
I did not try this version, but Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll
(the ECL developer) tried and FriCAS builds fine. This was
ECL 9.8.4 on 64 bit Debian with Unicode version of ECL
(in the past Unicode version of ECL had problems, so this
indicates that the problems are worked out).
Some versions of ECL have problems, for example build with
9.7.1 did not work (this is fixed in later versions). After
fixing build problem with 9.7.1 I got a few extra testsute
failures. I still have to find out if the testsuite failures
persist in newer ECL versions.
Let me remark that recently ECL got significantly better at
optimization. As byproduct some bugs may show up. For
example 9.7.1 problem was in an old optimization which
apparently for long time was unused and only in 9.7.1
got used and the problem surfaced.
