eCos is a highly configurable operating system. The default configuration
mostly tries to add functionality, rather than reduce size. You should
easily be able to reduce that footprint by orders of magnitude when you
understand the requirements of your application. For example, for hello
world, you probably wouldn't include the kernel package at all since you
aren't using multiple threads. There are various libc stdio features like
stdio buffering that could be disabled, etc.
