You have to check out to an empty directory.

You could have just downloaded prebuilt host tools from the web page I 
quoted I'm afraid!

This is odd. This implies eCos was built without "-fno-exceptions

flags (as the commands you wrote above indicate) that really shouldn't happen.

How did you build the i386-elf-gcc? Or where did you get it from?
