[ECOS] Re: Error message executing test :"No prefix to run a size program"

The eCos configuration tool thinks that no command prefix (eg "i386-elf") 
has been specified for the 'pc' platform. It would usually invoke 
i386-elf-size to determine the size of the test image. Are you using an 
i386-elf cross toolchain? Have you somehow deleted the prefix from your 
'pc' platform definition? You can check with the Tools->Platforms dialog 
box.
