First, gmail reject your attachment.

It looks right for me, but, unfortunately, there is not your target in
the public domain eCos repository. So, we won't be able to reproduce
the above for unknow target more that you use the vendor's toolchain.
So, your ecc (your attachment) cannot be tested with our eCos sources.

.02: Okay, what will be happen if you repeat the steps the above, but,
using `minimal' template? Will that build fail on the absent header
too? If it will fail ... see the below.

Anhur, it seems for me that only vendor can help you with your build
issue. Perhaps, they provide a way to build the Redboot _only_, I do
not know. Ask them, how to build the simplest eCos application using
their toolchain and their eCos sources for the target. I believe in
that what the eCos License makes the vendors to give you a way to
build at the least the "hello, world" program for the target.  Ask
them about, they may enlighten you.
