+Gentoo GNU/Linux specific notes for ECL
+---------------------------------------
+
+ * The Gentoo port includes a patch to ECL's installed header file (ech.h) so
+ that TRUE and FALSE are not redefined if they're already included from
+ elsewhere. This makes it easier to use ECL with other software which defines
+ those C preprocesser symbols (eg. glib-2.0).
+
+If you encounter any problems or have suggestions, use https://bugs.gentoo.org/.
+Please don't bother the upstream authors unless you are absolutely certain it is
+not Gentoo-related.
