I only cloned the platform folder. It wasn't too hard to make eCos work.

The biggest problem is with the toolchain, really, as the GNU tools
have not been
ported to OS X (or maybe BSD in general, I don't know).

I'll try to post some source to the patches list this week or next, to get some
feedback on the changes. I'll also get started on a copyright assignment with
gnu.org.

Cheers,
Jesper
