A make will only recompile files that have changed. The only time
everything gets recompiled is when you change the eCos configuration
file (ecos.ecc), and if you do that, you've got to re-compile everything
anyway (regardless of where the files are).
I regularly work by modifying files in the main eCos source tree, and
I don't think you're going to save much time by splitting out parts of
it.
When testing, you do have to remember to do two makes: one to recompile the
changed eCos source files, and a second to re-link your test app with
the new eCos libraries. I've created more confusion that I'd like to
admit by by forgetting that second make.

I guess I never had any problems with that.
