Comment (by jpflori):
The purpose of libecl.dll.a is to be able to link to Cygwin dlls from
outside of the Cygwin world, with the Windows linker for example.
So for Sage on Cygwin, this is not needed.
The point here was to use a more generic installation for ECL, which would
also work for linking from outside Cygwin, and which would as a side
effect solves the name clash problem of this ticket.
The link problem is myabe something with that we do not -L$SAGE_LOCAL/bin
when building/linking?
Libraries generated with libtool do not have this problem because libtool
also creates a .la file, which is just a text file containing some info,
and in particular where to look for the real shared library file, which is
usually in ../cyg<libname>-<version info>.dll
