Hmm.  I just did a fresh checkout of the 5.17 branch and built it on my
OSX box.  The only issue is the :ld-flags you added recently.  That, of
course, doesn't work on OSX.  I removed it and maxima is built just fine
on OSX.  (We'll have to fix that before the release.  I guess configure
will have to set the appropriate flags.)

I'll try a Linux build later....

Could this be caused by the version of ecl you're using?  My version is
the CVS version just shortly after the 0.9l release that fixed the
run-program problem.  It works, so I haven't bothered updating ecl since
then.
