Is it clear why in this case sage config didn't identify the system 
offerings for prerequisites to be insufficient? Or is this a problem with 
fedora where they ship an ECL that can't actually do what it's supposed to: 
generate valid C code for the compiler the system offers? In the latter 
case, I'd think that's a reportable bug to Fedora. It makes one wonder how 
Fedora built their ECL package in the first place then: ECL self-compiles 
to a large extent in its bootstrapping.

ecl system package cannot be used, as it is too old to be used with the gcc 
toolchain. While ecl has fixed this in their master, they haven't yet made 
a release with it. 

So you must build them both.
