A host compiler without complex float support still needs to be able
to emit C instructions for complex float. In this case, the host
doesn't define si::complex-{single/double/long}-float types, so we
need to replace those by types which all variants of ECL understand.
Moreover, functions for emitting C code dealing with complex floats
must be present even if the host doesn't support complex floats
natively.
Deciding whether to emit these instructions is implemented either by
explicit checks for *complex-float* or automatically as the compiler
will not create :c{s/d/l}float locations for a target without complex
float support (this is decided at runtime based on the contents
of *machine*).

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.
The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a Lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.
ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
