>For the synthetic target, eCos relies on features not available
in native compilers earlier than gcc-2.95.1. It also requires version
2.9.5 or later of the GNU linker. If you have gcc-2.95.1 or later
and ld version 2.9.5 or later, then you do not need to build new
tools. eCos does not support earlier versions. You can check the compiler
version using <B

and the linker version using <B

on your system and are the correct versions for use with eCos. But
instead, you can tell eCos to use your native tools by editing the
configuration value "Global command prefix" (CYGBLD_GLOBAL_COMMAND_PREFIX)
in your eCos configuration. If left empty (i.e. set to the empty
string) eCos will use your native tools when building.</P
