If you don't have any target hardware and you just wish to become
familiar with eCos then I'd suggest using the Linux synthetic target.
This will produce binaries which will run (natively) on your Linux box.

See part XXV (eCos Synthetic Target) in the eCos reference manual.

Probably not.  I have one here that's 14 Mbyte.  Remember that it
contains loads of debugging and other information which will be stripped
from the final application.
