The TCP stack cannot be simulated on the linux synthetic target yet. As I think you are hinting at, it is possible to write a "driver" that could use linux system calls to communicate with an external process, so that eCos thinks it is talking to an ethernet card when it isn't really. But no-one has done that yet. And out of interest, eCos would require work to be ported to credit card sized PCs - the eCos PC port cannot be put into flash yet.
