[ECOS] Now I'm confused ...

[Chuck McManis <ecos at mcmanis dot com>]

So here's the deal, I recently upgraded my FreeBSD box to 4.9 the "hard 
way" (clean re-install) to get to KDE 3.2. The only thing that I didn't 
manage to protect was my existing eCos install.

So basically I get to revisit all the stuff I did a year ago and forgot 
about :-)

I've built a new gcc toolchain out of 3.3 (FreeBSD uses 2.95 by default in 
the 4-STABLE branch). All that went as planned.

I uses anon-cvs to recover the ECOS packages (I had previously simply 
installed the 2.0 packages)

I didn't find source to ecosconfig (I know its there somewhere, but ..) so 
I re-used the one that I had built from 2.0.

To test the install I tried to rebuild my redboot image (target is 
i386-elf) so I did:
ecosconfig tree
and got:

ecos.ecc: error
    The savefile contains a cdl_option for an unknown option 
`CYGBLD_ISO_STDIO_FILEPOS'
Invalid savefile "ecos.ecc".
1 error occurred while reading in the savefile data.

Which wasn't particularly surprising given the amount of change since 2.0. 
So I tried to create a new redboot using:

ecosconfig new pc redboot
then edited ecos.ecc and changed the HAL_STARTUP option to FLOPPY
Tried to gmake and got this:

i386-elf-gcc -g -nostdlib -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-static 
-L/u1/cmcmanis/unix/tmp/ecos/usr/rb/install/lib -Ttarget.ld -o

gmake: *** [build] Error 2

Multiple definition of cyg_start ? I'd expect this to be redboot's entry point.

What else do I need to change in the ecos.ecc to get a vanilla redboot ?
