What final executable?  eCos comes in two parts - the kernel (library)
and your application.  You need to build an application using the 
library you've configured and built.

Have you read the "Getting Started" section of the online documentation?
It goes through this using the sample applications (in the .../examples
directory of the eCos sources).

You could also look at:
  http://www.mlbassoc.com/examples/build_hello.html
but it uses the command line configuration tool (I seldom use the GUI).
The principles are the same though.

Don't forget that to run a program on your x86 processor, you'll 
need some way of loading it - from FLOPPY or via RedBoot or GRUB.
You'll also need to set the startup type appropriately.
