Not at this time, but something like that may appear for future stable 
eCos releases.

Yep, although the eCosCentric test farm does do a lot of configuration 
testing including many many different combinations of options - but again 
that's what customers pay for I'm afraid, not just for the general public 
release. You can be fairly sure though that eCosCentric will test any 
future public releases to some extent in the test farm (but probably in a 
much more limited way than for customers as test bandwidth is 
limited!).... eCosCentric's success rides on the back of eCos's success!

Just one of the many reasons :-).
