Not sure why there'd be an extra build step; I'd envision it more
like "configure ... --with-ecpg" and the main build step either
does it or not.  You would need to make the ecpg-check step
conditional, though, so it's moot: we'd have to fix the buildfarm
first in any case, unless it's default-enabled which would seem
a bit odd.
