As the documentation in the loader package says, this work is
incomplete. The standard toolchains we use for eCos generally have the
dynamic library support disabled. Trying to use Linux toolchains has
issues with code generation, ABIs and unprioritized
constructors. While the loader itself is probably about 80% complete,
the toolchain issues caused the original work to be mothballed.
This needs to be revisited one day, but the solutions are far-reaching
and non-trivial.
