Re: Can anybody compare the ARM tools (compiler, assembler,linkeretc) to the GNUPro Tools ?

No, you don't have to use Red Hat's GNUPro tools - you can use the free GNU tools.

the ecos is always compiler dependent. not like the RTOS: uCOS? so what's
the advantage of using ecos as a compiler dependent RTOS? Thanks a lot.)
eCos is dependent on GNU tools yes (of which GNUPro is a variant). Being compiler independent makes porting much more difficult (each compiler's assembler is different) and reduces functionality (e.g. other compiler's do not support important things like ordering of global C++ constructors).
