[ECOS] In great Need of some Educate'n

["John Morrison" <JMorrison at printronix dot com>]

Help.

We need to upgrade the binutils and GCC to 2.18 and 4.2.3 respectively
(something to do with FreeBDS?).  We are currently at 2.10.1 and 2.95.2.
Our code was easy fix, but I'm having trouble rebuilding Ecos.  I
believe that we are running 1.3.1?  I'm not sure, I've kinda taken over
this stuff from someone else.

What would be the normal steps to rebuild the ecos libraries?  Does the
build process create new versions of stdio, stdarg, etc.?

The target is powerpc-eabi.

I'm really at a loss on how to start.  There were some printed
instructions left behind talking about configtool, which I am able to
run, but I get errors like:

Any tips, pointers, questions I can answer, etc, would be greatly
appreciated.
