I believe that if one of the things required by ecb requires eshell-directory-name, that
could cause this symptom.
Now, as to why a 'make bindist' in eshell causes the problem to appear, and a
'make distclean' in eshell causes the problem to go away, that I do not understand
(yet).
Ok, after doing a "make install" in eshell i now get the build-error for ecb
too. But for me "make distclean" in eshell causes the problem NOT to go
away...very mysterious...
