The eCos build system builds eCos. Application building/linkage
is done by whatever system the user is using. The output image from
that process needs further mangling to be installed in the AEB flash
(due to the AEB rom monitor).


Basically, the process is just more cumbersome than what is also
required for other platforms - on other platforms you may have to
convert the ELF object to binary for EPROM programming, or convert it
to SREC format for downloading and in-situ flash updating.

For the AEB you simply need to do more than just an objcopy. Indeed,
if you are lucky, someone has already written something to simplify
that process. But it is outside the scope of the eCos build system.
