ecw is called the "Translator" (for Windows), 
not the "Binder", as someone replied to you erroneously.

Off the top of my head, without looking through Tone's code,
it could be that he has incorrectly declared some C routines
as STDCALL (the default), when he should have declared them 
as CDECL. This is a user error that is often "forgiven", 
(by luck really) when you use the interpreter, but not 
when you use the translator and Borland. Things might 
work if you use the translator and Watcom (for Windows).

Also, you are still using 2.3. Several bug fixes have been
made in the Translator since then. We are now up to 2.5 beta.
Also, more importantly, support for declaring things as 
CDECL was not added until 2.4.
