You did not answer Jifl's obvious question.
ecos.db lists a package CYGPKG_HAL_MIPS, which refers to a
subdirectory hal/mips/arch
The configuration tools read in ecos.db, then look inside this
subdirectory for specific versions. In an anoncvs tree there should be
a single version, "current", and an additional subdirectory CVS which
is ignored. The tools are reporting that there is no directory
"current" or anything else that might correspond to a valid version of
the package. The implication is that somehow you have corrupted the
component repository so that the ecos.db file is no longer accurate.
So take a look at the hal/mips/arch subdirectory and then decide on
appropriate recovery action.
