Yes, that is where the eCos run-time code is built.

Only the host tools are built via the configure/make process.

You should point the eCos Confiiguration Tool at your eCos repository
(using the Build->Repository menu item) to configure and build the eCos
run-time code. You should specify the directory _containing_ the eCos
"packages" directory (not the "packages" directory itself).

You should be able to use the latest Linux-hosted configtool snapshot
build (2011-02-09) on 64-bit distros if you install the relevant 32-bit
compatibility libraries. Ref:

I hope this helps...
