Most likely, it's not really a problem with JFFS2 itself, but rather
with the underlying flash driver as they're not interrupt safe. eCosPro
has newer versions of the flash drivers that are interrupt safe.

There aren't any configuration options for this - it's assumed to work.
Can you please explain in more detail exactly what you've done to get
things to work? Given that the generic functions (e.g. flash_program)
already disable interrupts, I'm a bit confused.

Given that the eCos port for the MPC5200 is not public (you got it
from Analogue & Micro), it makes sense to ask these questions of
A&M, not the general list.
