Here's output from a recent GNU package's configure script.

# ../a\ space/libtool-2.4/configure

So it appears that spaces in directory names are strongly discouraged. 
An authoritative answer would have to come from the autoconf list.  Its 
possible this changed in the recently released autoconf 2.68, but I doubt 
it.

That seems indeed to be the source of the problem, since the entry for 
ext:integer64 references b16 instead of b64.  Changing this in my copy of ecl 
(see attached patch) and recompiling seems to fix the problem reported as issue 
3082527.

The only remaining problem with Deflate is now the optimization bug in 
bit-stream-read-bits (the first issue reported).

When Abhishek Reddy told me that older versions of ECL don't fail with
my test case, I tried a git-bisect and found that commit
5cfb33d7ad472e7a70d14069df4e374087c6117c, "Inline forms for
ROW-MAJOR-AREF/ASET acting on specialized arrays with elements
:[u]int{8,16,32,64}-t" fails on the test case, but the previous commit,
1c6132d28a464960d2d7a82bd534b7c712ed00d2, "Inline MAKE-ARRAY also when
:INITIAL-ELEMENT is supplied.", does not fail. Both commits were made on
May 25th of this year.

Abhishek independently bisected and arrived at the same commit.

I tried to revert the failing commit changes on HEAD, but it didn't seem
to help, and I'm not sure I was doing it right.
