When you did the checkout, what module did you use?  To get the tools,
I always checkout 'ecos-full', e.g.
  % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co ecos-full

If you just checkout 'ecos' you get a rather minimal tree.  If you 
want to add the tools to an already checked out tree, just use:
  % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co ecos-host
