At a cygwin bash prompt, can _you_ read 
/ecos-e/ecos-work/one_build/services/memalloc/common/current/heapgeninc.tcl ?

There's meant to be a build rule (although you can't see it) to build this 
with:
         make -priority 50 {
             heapgeninc.tcl : <PACKAGE>/src/heapgen.cpp
             $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE_PATH) -Wp,-MD,heapgen.tmp -E $< -o $@
             @sed -e '/^ *\\/d' -e "s#.*: #$@: #" heapgen.tmp > $(notdir 
$@).deps
             @rm heapgen.tmp
         }

in the CDL. Do you see the "arm-elf-gcc .... -E ..../src/heapgen.cpp -o 
heapgeninc.tcl" line in your build output? Any errors after that point?

It's planned by eCosCentric, but similarly without funding it's not going 
to be done in any hurry.

Since we have a FreeBSD networking stack, the PPP code from FreeBSD may be 
the best starting point. But from what we've already done to scope it, 
it's not far the faint-hearted.

If someone has already contacted you from eCosCentric, you can listen to 
them instead of me - I'm wearing the "responding to public mailing list 
posts" hat right now :-).
