I know you've fixed the problem, but I add this comment OOI & IME...

I'd be very careful of using relative paths in stuff like this - the eCos
makefiles are convoluted, and the make process does change directories as
it goes.  All I'm saying is, if you use relative paths and it appears to
misbehave, the first thing to do is try it using totally absolute paths.
