Hello
I think Sergei is not alone.
Standardized tool-chain is important contribution to eCos' stability. It
will also facilitate bug hunting by making test cases reproducible.
I would mention that information on library versions (vxWidgets, Tcl/Tk)
used for eCos 3.0 configuration tools is also important.
At the end if it is not decided yet, I would suggest to get some fresh
GCC release (4.2... or newer).
Best regards
Ilija
