eCos is not linked with the standard libc which contains these shm*
functions. Hence the linker error.
The synthetic eCos does have a backdoor to the Linux Kernel. You can
make system calls. There are quite a few mails in the archive about
this, mostly about accessing sockets and the filesystem. They should
give you the idea...
