It is very unlikely that the eCos team would do anything that causes
problems for emacs users.

Other front ends such as ddd should also work fine. They may be more
limited than Insight in some respects, for example I do not know
whether or not the ddd folks have added support for thread-aware
debugging yet. Also it is possible that there will be future
extensions to gdb to aid eCos development, and GUI support for these
would almost certainly appear in Insight before ddd. Any such
extensions would of course be optional extras, we have no intention of
forcing people to use Insight.
