Yes, it is the host program (ecosconfig) that is crashing. I haven't
even *got* to the target sources. I have checked out the anonymous cvs
version of eCos, which includes the host tools. I recompiled the host
tools and now I am trying to run them. I can list the packages with
"ecosconfig list", but anything else gets me a core.

This is frustrating because the web pages claim that all this stuff was
tested under RedHat 6.1, but I guess that doesn't include Linux/alpha.
Grrr! Even RedHat treats us alpha owners as second class citizens:-(

Oh, I should have thought of that, silly me. But what about libstdc++?
Will it work with the precompiled libstdc++ or am I going to need to ...
Oh nevermind, I should be able to figure that out for myself.

But as a point of reference, the web page does say:

	"The Linux version has been tested under Red Hat Linux 6.1
	(and later releases)..."

and I'm using the canonical compiler for RedHat 6.2.
