You can forget about stubrom.perm now - it was only intended for building
GDB stubs.
.ecm files are "minimal eCos configuration" files. They are almost like a
savefile, but only register the differences between your configuration and
the default. In this context, they are supplied to give you a "potted"
configuration to build redboot for various startups.
They're not a required part of the port as such - you can just set the
options yourself in the configuration - but they are included so that other
people can build redboot without having to know the details of exactly what
options to set or packages to add.
