It's cause by compiling the driver with the -std=gnu99 flag.  I a big
fan of limiting the scope of variables and like to use this sort of
construct:

  for (int i=0; i<whatever; ++i)
    {
      // "i" is only visible inside this block    
    }

It appears that eCos header files don't work right when you compile
with C99 semantics...
