Exactly. If you need to support the dynamic loading of
applications, then eCos is probably not a good choice for OS.
You might want to look at uCLinux -- I presume it does dynamic
loading of applications.
Developing a dynamic linker/loader for eCos would take a fair
amount of work -- especially if you wanted applications to
share run-time libraries. If all you wanted was a
position-independant way to make system calls, that wouldn't be
quite as bad.
