Graham,

To have sleep() you have to add posix package to default template. Do
you really need in the bloat posix stuff? The eCos has own "sleep" --
cyg_thread_delay(). Please, start to read eCos documentation. So, a
solution is

ecosconfig add posix

IMHO, you have to prepare a good Makefile to play with eCos. Why do you
use C++ ?!. There are good examples under eCos `examples' directory. Try
the examples, first. Those build_Makefile, build_Make.params are nice
script-helpers to get a test farm. build_Make.params is most important
then. It rebuilds actual GCC flags for project. Every time when you
rebuild eCos, run build_Make.params (U.T.S.L.) in a project directory.

Just a demo about that eCos can do all for you

i. build eCos

ecosconfig new stm3210e
ecosconfig add posix
ecosconfig tree
make -s

ii. Stand up a test farm

mkdir test
cd test
cp $ECOS_REPOSITORY/../examples/build_Make.params .
DST=test SRCS=test.c $ECOS_REPOSITORY/../examples/build_Makefile ..
echo -ne 'clean:\n\trm -f test.o test\n' >> Makefile

cat >test.c<<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main(void)
{
    sleep(10);
    printf("Test done\n");
    return 0;
}
EOF

make -s

I've got

ls
Makefile  Make.params  test  test.c  test.o

And there is sleep there

arm-eabi-nm test | grep sleep
68009d98 T _ZN10Cyg_Thread5sleepEv
6800c2a4 T nanosleep
6800c358 T sleep

But, eCos source can look as (no need posix package to compile it)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cyg/kernel/kapi.h>

int
main(void)
{
    while (true) {
	cyg_thread_delay(100);
	printf("I'm still alive\n");
    }
    return 0;
}


This week read these manuals:
