You can't build eCos in thumb mode. There is a bug in gcc at the moment 
which makes the build operation fail. (Still there with CVS sources of Monday).

You can build eCos in ARM mode with thumb interworking enabled, as long as 
you also built newlib with interworking enabled. You can then build your 
app in thumb mode (with interworking).

There isn't a fully satisfactory solution yet.

majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and will attract 
them accordingly."
