New description:

 I already have an spkg working around this, as well as using `ecl -norc
 ...` as recommended by an ECL developer.

 To reproduce the problem, just try something like
 {{{
 #!sh
 $ env LDFLAGS="-DFOO -DBAR" ./sage -f spkg/standard/maxima-5.26.0.p0.spkg
 }}}

 === maxima-5.26.0.p1 (Leif Leonhardy, March 25th 2012) ===
  * #12759: Unset `LDFLAGS` if it contains multiple words.
    (ECL's still get used in that case, but don't break the build.)
  * Use `ecl -norc ...` throughout `spkg-install`, as recommended by
 Juanjo.
    We set the environment variable `ECL` to this, which *might* get used
 by
    Makefiles as well -- to be checked.
    (I.e., we might have to pass e.g. `ECL="$ECL"` when invoking
    `make` to override Makefile settings, in case that's desired.)
  * Use `cp -pf ...` to preserve permissions and to avoid errors if files
    already exist (read-only).
  * Add some error checks, messages and comments; quote more variables.
