That command line is fair enough.

If you were using the current CVS trunk I would agree you should be able 
to get quite far, but the v2.0b1 release had a problem that prevented it 
being compiled for thumb - fixed by this patch but only in the CVS trunk: 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-patches/2003-04/msg00085.html

If you were using the trunk, you would also see that the thumb compiler 
still isn't necessarily up to scratch:

arm-elf-gcc -c

make[1]: *** [tests/dhrystone.d] Error 1

"Only" a test, sure, but it gives us doubts about the compiler's 
reliability. On the other hand, if anyone reports success using GCC 3.2.2 
or GCC 3.2.3 we would very much like to know about it.
