I emailed the people (Waldeck Hebisch and Bill Page) who made the Fricas spkg,
and I really hope they will make an ECL version of it. However, if
you want to try
that would I'm sure be appreciated.

For now you can at least start sage then type
sage: !ecl
to start ecl. It appears to not make any use of ecl. I don't know if
this is just
a compilation problem or an ecl limitation.
The Sage <--> lisp interface already works fine:
sage: lisp.eval('(+ 2 3)')
'5'
I'm not sure why %gap works but not %lisp:
sage: %lisp
ERROR: Magic function `lisp` not found.
sage: %gap
--> Switching to Gap <--
gap:
That should be consider a bug.
OK, two tickets:
(1) make "sage -lisp" run ecl: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6287
(2) make %lisp work and run ecl + readline mode:
