Why not check what information is put in *features* by other implementations? If OpenAxiom runs on them, then that should be enough.
Keywords like :X86 and :X86-64 seem common, and this should be easy to figure out when building ECL. :ILP32 or :LP64 might be even more informative than that. Since ECL depends on a C compiler, maybe an additional :GCC or :SUNCC or whatever keyword identifying the compiler would be useful too. Clozure CL has target and host endianness and word size information. Armed Bear CL will tell you what Java version (1.5 or 1.6) it is running on. Even CLisp (which IIRC compiles to portable bytecode) says something like :PC386. This information is useful, can usually be figured out at build time, and is harmless to put in *features*.
