There are several options on ECL's configure script for this
{{{
--enable-boehm use the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector
(no|included|system|auto, default=auto)
}}}
but there does not appear to be any way to specify the path to this, like
{{{
--enable-boehm="$SAGE_LOCAL"
}}}
We could request that the ECL developer add this - he is very helpful. We
'''may''' find that {{{--enable-boehm=system}}} will work, though I don't
think that could be considered reliable without verification that it will
do what we want.
