Hi Andrew and all out there
Thanks, the -v option helped several steps further:
a) The loader has indeed -lgcc -lc -lc options set (-lgcc even twice?) -  
and they are needed, the yagarto-version uses them as well.
b) The gnutool from ecos do not include libg.a nor libc.a, but libgcc.a is  
there (many of them!)
c) The arm-elf-gcc provided by ecos is built using a rather old gcc  
version 3.2.1 (yagarto uses 4.2.2)

I think I need a more recent version of the arm-elf-gnutools - including  
libraries. Does anyone know were one can get it? Linux-version!
Thanks and best regards
Robert
