[ECOS] Using docker as wayback machine

Hi

If you move(d) on x86_64 and want to continue work with your old eCos
projects you would try to use Docker for that. Perhaps someone finds
this way useful.

A short story by the subject.

Yesterday I needed to build 6-years old RedBoot image on 64-bit Linux
host and I successfully built it using <32-bit> docker container.  There
is an example of `Dockerfile' for building one old eCos project for ARM
target below.  As you can see for <i386/ubuntu> image you need to
install only GNU Make and Tcl interpreter (it uses to run heapgen.tcl
script) CURL is an option as you can use Docker [COPY] command to build
own image(s).
