Old description:
> It has been reported that after the Sage tree is relocated, e.g.
> {{{
> mv /usr/local/sage-4.6.2 /usr/local/sage-new-location
> }}}
> it is not possible to reinstall a maxima spkg anymore. This indicates
> that there are components of ecl that are sensitive to location and are
> not properly adjusted.

> This can be fixed by simply adding a symbolic link `local/lib/ecl/ecl` ->

New description:
CPPFLAGS are recorded by ECL for future use as default values for `c::*cc-
flags*`. But we want Sage to be relocate-able, so no build paths should be
hardcoded.
This ticket proposes various changes to the ECL spkg-install that may
work.
See also #11348 and this sage-devel thread.

Comment:
I will review the workaround as part of #14662.
Leaving this ticket open until you figure out how to set paths correctly
;-)
