[ECOS] PC target

[Koeller, T.]

I am currently evaluating eCos to see if it's suitable for an upcoming
embedded project. My host environment is Windows NT / Cygwin. For evaluation
purposes only, I am using the PC target with CYG_HAL_STARTUP set to FLOPPY.
I found that the cross-development tools I installed (i386-elf) always
generate elf executables (xxx.exe), which is not really surprising, given
the names of those tools. However, the executables generated cannot be
loaded directly on the target, so I used objcopy to convert them to raw
binary format. This step is not described anywhere in the docs, and I
therefore wonder if I am doing it the way it's supposed to be done. Any
comments?
