Could you be a bit more specific? 

We know that the autodetection does not always work. As it says in
README.host on some systems its necassary to pass something like
--with-tcl=/usr/ -with-tcl-version=8.4 to get it to build. I need this
for my Debain system. However once this is done ecosconfig compiles
without problems.

I also remember somebody else is using FreeBSD for the host. Maybe
there is some useful information in the email archives?

Also, a quick google found me:

http://www.freshports.org/devel/ecos-tools/

It looks rather old, but not much has changed in the config tools
lately.
