I've been thinking about this, and currently it is just for fun, but there
should be no problems, my assumption is that eCos allows anything to be
linked against it, closed source, BSD licensed etc.. the ARM lib is the
same as you can't do much with the ARM compiler otherwise, and that
extracting the .o files from the ARM library is not a problem as I'm only
doing what the linker normally would do (armlibs crash my ld...)...
