I did - and more - see below

Meanwhile I have tried a lot, but was not able to produce a working eCOS  
with TCP/IP. Finally I succeeded in producing a version free of conflicts.  
I have put the files I am referencing in the next lines on the web at  
www.brusag.ch/xyz

script used to generate eCOS: ecosconfig.sh
copy of command line to invoke the script (with redirection of output)  
terminal.txt
the output o the script: config.log
the ecc-file: ecos.ecc
a test program: tracker.c

As one can see in terminal.txt and config.log, there is a problem when  
generating the tests. I decided to ignore this and make a test with a  
small user program tracker.c. The program does not use TCP/IP and (under  
this configuration) it behaves strangly. I then found out that when  
running thread_0 the stackpointer points to nirwana!

Any help to generate a working configuration for my Eval-Kit that support  
TCP/IP is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, given the present status, RPC is only a dream...
