As for the patch: You must have the original eCos tree somewhere, and a 
modifies tree. It seems the best way to create the diffs from packages 
directory.

 I always do something like that:
>>> cd /YourWorkingTree/ecos/packages
>>>diff -C2 -N -P -r -x '.*' /ecoscvs/orig/ecos/packages . >MyPatch.patch

If your patch is a complicated one change the -C2 diff option to -C5. (That's 
the number of lines of original code included in patch).
