OK, but what I find a bit imperfect is that in configure.ac it is called
fricas_fasl_type and in config/var-def.mk it is LISPOBJEXT and FASLEXT.
Why not also call it by the latter names in configure.ac?

What is the variable fricas_fasl_type2 used for?

I don't know what ecl returns as the fasl_type, but why is it first
computed and then hardcoded to "o"?

configure.ac:

fricas_fasl_type2=$fricas_fasl_type
case $fricas_lisp_flavor in
      ecl)
         fricas_fasl_type="o"
       ;;
      *)
       ;;
esac


With ECL we have two kinds of compiled Lisp files: linkable ones
(with extension ".o") and loadable ones (shared libraries).
The computed extensions is for loadable ones.  But main
FriCAS executable is linked and we need linkable files for this.
