[ECOS] Tool chains, and I386

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
Can the eCos build arrangements be told to build using the pre-existing
toolchain on a I386 type Linux platform? In this case, I mean here. The
host is a Pentium III based system. Any suggestions for doing that, I
mean.

If you build eCos for the linux synthetic target then yes, it should work
with something like this in your config:

cdl_option CYGBLD_GLOBAL_COMMAND_PREFIX {
    user_value ""
};

But if you want to build it for the raw pc target then I think that you'll need
the tools for the i386-elf target.

It may be possible to use the native tools even for those, but it depends
on the version of the tools :-|. Try it, and if it doesn't work, build up
the i386-elf tools :-).
