 Replying to [comment:64 jdemeyer]:

 There are many test failures (probably unrelated to ecl) but at least it
 builds.

 Unless a couple of doctest failures are caused by ECL and/or Maxima...

 Maybe François can tell better.

 I don't know right now what Maxima/ECL/GCC version you are referring to,
 but at least [with] GCC 4.6.x [ECL] seemed to produce buggy or invalid
 code for POWER7; `-mcpu=power4` in contrast "worked", at least better,
 i.e. did build and produced less test failures.  [Note that Maxima uses
 those `CFLAGS` specified when configuring ECL.]
