If you have read the readme file you will know that the effort was
largely abandoned due to problems with toolchains. Basically, the
toolchains we use for embedded work do not have the dynamic linkage
options enabled, and building the toolchains with dynamic support have
other knock-on effects that would require major rewrites of several
eCos HALs.
