Really?  Where?  The only official source for eCos is:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/

First of all, you've not configured an eCos kernel at all, just the
host tools!  Have a look at the "Getting Started" guide or Anthony's
book to learn more about how eCos applications are built.  Start with
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/

Also, you can't just configure eCos for a PowerPC 8245 - you have to
configure it for a known platform.  There are some out there which are
based on the 8245, but if you don't have exactly that platform, then
eCos will need to be ported to your particular platform.
