Oh, yes, I forgot about that. I looked briefly at those sources before
starting our own port. They were not well structured and the licensing
is unclear. Most importantly, they are for RedBoot only and oriented
to supporting Linux booting. I have no idea what would happen if you
tried to build eCos using them (although, I think you have found
out). For these reasons I decided to reimplement from scratch.
