Hey, that's pretty embarassing as I thought I had read all the doco.
)-:

There were some other problems though:

      - strchr() prototype in src/expect/exp_strf.c [included in patch]

      - use of preprocessor directives within a macro: strncmp() is
        a macro in glibc 2.1 src/make/arscan.c
	
      -	needed an -I/usr/include/ncurses in LOCAL_CFLAGS for
        src/readline/Makefile.in

      - comment out proto for strdup in src/gdb/gdb_string.h

Is there any reason why different versions of make, gdb, expect and
friends are required for eCos?  There is certainly a change in gcc as
the version provided in the ecosSWtools archive has support for the
-fdata-sections flag whereas egcs-1.1.2 doesn't.  It would be neat
someday to be able to compile the synthetic i386 target using an
unmodified (native) toolchain.


Thanks,

Tim.
