Ray, I've changed the :ld-flags stuff. Now there is a new variable
*AUTOCONF-LD-FLAGS* in src/autoconf-variables.lisp which captures
the value of LDFLAGS supplied to ./configure, e.g. via
LDFLAGS=--foobar ./configure --enable-ecl
and that value is forwarded to ECL's C::BUILD-PROGRAM if present.
I think if you run ./configure without LDFLAGS then it should work as
before I started messing with it.
Maxima as built by ECL at present doesn't allow compiled functions
to be redefined (because calls are inlined, that's allowed by CLHS).
Apparently an appropriate proclamation could change that, e.g.
(DECLAIM (OPTIMIZE (DEBUG 2))) or something. I'll look into it.
It's a fairly big deal since many share packages redefine core functions.
FWIW
