Good, glad to know it is a known/recogized problem and not the evil demon 
riding on my shoulder. And at least now I can build the CVS sources of 
eCos, which is a big step.

Do you have any insight on why I can't get eCos compiled with Thumb 
interworking? It would be an acceptable workaround for me if I could have 
the OS in 32-bit mode and my app in Thumb mode, since the friskier parts 
are all in my app anyway. At the moment, we are only demoing the technology 
so it isn't vital to get everything tweaked to perfection; the final 
firmware doesn't have to ship until Q3 :)

Thanks for the response.
