No. The eCos source code assumes throughout that gcc and the GNU tools
will be used to build eCos. That applies to the various host tools as
well to the target-side code.

One approach would be to patch the generated makefiles and change the
definition of CC. That is not going to work too well in a GUI
environment though.

Another approach might be to set up a shell alias, shell script,
symbolic link, or even copy or rename the compiler executable, so that
when make tries to run arm-elf-gcc it finds the alternative compiler
instead.
