I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with your build.. But I think I did notice is the CPU you called out was a 405...
I have been using a 505

I hope this is a stupid newbie question, maybe something in my setup that can be resolved easily!

Has anyone run into this problem before?
Thanks for any help resolving this,

History below:
I am starting an eCos port to a board containing a Xilinx Virtex II pro with a PowerPC 405 processor.
Host is a wintel pc.
eCos config version 2.11.
gcc tools 2.95.2
I started with Anthony Massa's excellent book "Embedded Software Development with eCos"
I setup the Cygwin, eCos, and WinCVS tools from the book's cd.
I worked through the i386 pc example in the book.
I setup the PowerPC tools from the cd and compiled the redboot monitor for the Motorola MBX860/821.
I then used WinCVS to update the eCos packages from anonCVS@eCos.sourceware.org.
This was primarily to obtain the TAMS PowerPC 405GPr (MOAB) board package to use as a reference for the port.
When I tried to compile the redboot monitor for this package I got the following error when the build
reached the /ecos-c/ecos/packages/hal/common/current/src/hal_stub.c
file:

make: *** [build] Error 2
I then tried to recompile from scratch the MBX board package and I get the same error message.
Same result from the Adder PowerPC board also.
I then setup another PC from the CD from Massa's book to do a comparison. (no MOAB or Adder packages
on the CD).
The MBX board package compiles OK on this setup.
I read thru the FAQ on the eCos sourceware
My /tmp directory is mounted in binary mode.
I have searched through the Bugzilla tracking list and the ecos_discuss list and could not find
a reference to this problem.
The problem shows up in the HAL_GET_GDB_REGISTERS macro in the C:\ecos\packages\hal\powerpc\arch\
current\include\hal_arch.h file.
The macro defines a union that contains a __typeof__(_aregval_) _aregval2_ declaration.
The error occurs when the macro later tries to assign __gdbregunion._aregval2_ = (_aregval_);
After searching through many files and makefiles and doing comparisons between the packages I discovered
that ecos\packages\hal\powerpc\mbx\current\include\plf_stub.h had a
#include <pkgconf/hal_powerpc_mbx.h> reference that the new file did not.
Adding this to the updated system's plf_stub.h file allowed a clean compile on the MBX package.
However adding a simular reference <pkgconf/hal_powerpc_moab.h> to the updated system's moab plf_stub.h
file did not solve the problem for the MOAB package.
There seems to be a lot of changes to the powerpc files in the updated system and comparisons between
the files is difficult.
I hope this is just a setup problem.
Thanks again,
Chris
