(Same deal as with gp2c.) Francois: the overlay ebuild is pulling the sources from the "sageupstream" mirror, but it looks like John started making releases on Github: https://github.com/JohnCremona/eclib/releases Do you foresee any problems if I get the tarball from Github instead? It also looks like autotools.eclass and RESTRICT=mirror are no longer needed.
The source from github are just a git tag. John doesn't provide a sdist produced by autoconf there. So, if you pull the source from github, you have to add eautoconf in src_prepare. On John's website there is only ever sdist for one version of eclib. So, the sage mirror was the safest location for looking up several sdist versions. The autotools.eclass is probably a remnant from earlier times indeed.

This commit imports eclib-20190909 from the sage-on-gentoo overlay where François Bissey has been maintaining it for use with SageMath. I've made a few changes on top of the overlay version: * Enabled the test suite (it passes for me). * Put the "--disable-allprogs" configure flag behind USE=minimal. * Put the "--with-boost" configure flag behind USE=boost. * Inlined the SRC_URI which was using a custom thirdpartymirror. * Dropped obsolete autotools.eclass and RESTRICT=mirror. The SageMath build system can detect eclib on the system now, so having this package installed will save users time when rebuilding SageMath.
