 Replying to [comment:2 mhansen]:
 > Another thing to try would be the ECL spkg from #8951 and the Maxima
 spkg from #8731.
 I've tried that - the same result.

 Googling, I find this error is not specific to ECL or Maxima, but can crop
 up in all sort of programs.

 http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/about_amd64_abi.html

 indicates a couple of possible workarounds, but I'm unsure what is the
 best course of action. I guess building with position independent code
 might be, as it might hopefully be fairly easy to add -fPIC to the ECL
 build, though I'll take advice from the ECL developer on that.
