Comment:
I've created a new ECL package
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/revised-
patches/ecl-10.4.1.spkg
which has the following fixes applied:
* Updates ECL to the latest upstream, 10.4.1
* Applies a fix to stop ECL building in parallel, which is ticket #9187.
This already has positive review.
* Applies the fix from #8089 to disable the dynamic foreign function
interface as advised by the ECL developer. This disables the use of
assembly code on !OpenSolaris x64, but no other platform.
* Removes files from /tmp/ECL* as soon as they are no longer needed, as
failure to do so can present problems on multi-user systems.
All changes have been checked with #8645, which has a change to Maxima
which allows Maxima to build with the latest ECL. The patch on #8645 does
'''not''' update Maxima to the latest version, as that creates problems
which are non-trivial to solve. It does however fix a problem with Maxima
not installing the library properly, and allows Maxima to build with the
latest ECL>
As such, the attached ticket:
* Allows Maxima to build the library properly whilst still working with
the latest ECL.
* Remove unwanted ECL tmp files.
* Allows spkgs to build in parallel
* Allow ECL to build on !OpenSolaris x64.
Here are the test results:
== Testing on Solaris 10 SPARC in 32-bit mode. ==
* Sun Blade 1000
* 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs
* 2 GB RAM
* Solaris 10 03/2005 (first release of Solaris 10)
* gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)
* Sage 4.4.4.alpha1

Maxima 5.20.1.p1 will '''not''' build on this platform, but such a problem
is not related to this ticket, and appears it might be an incorrect flag
given in the source (-Wl,-G instead of -shared). This is documented at
#9099

We can also see Maxima, and the library are ok now.

== Note to Release manager ==
There are many tickets active at the minute for updates to Maxima and ECL.
Once positively, this should be integrated with Maxima at #8645. At the
time of writing, the use of the latest Maxima will cause problems with
doctest failures, as Maxima's output is changed from the current version.
