7. Porting ECL

To port ECL to a new architecture, the following steps are required:

1. Ensure that the GNU Multiprecision library supports this machine.

2. Ensure that the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector is supported by that architecture. Alternatively, port ECL's own garbage collector `src/c/alloc.d' and `src/c/gbc.d' to that platform.

3. Fix `src/aclocal.in', `src/h/ecl.h' and `src/h/ecl-cmp.h' so that they supply flags for the new host machine.

4. Fix the machine dependent code in `src/c/'. The most critical parts are in the `unix*' and `thread*' files.

5. Compile as in any other platform.

6. Run the tests and compare to the results of other platforms.
