This CMakeLists.txt is basically correct. The problem is that you build only 
the executable for eCos, the library is built for the build host. 
So I would suggest to put the following three lines after the project() 
command in the top level CMakeLists.txt.

You don't need this line, this is only when you use the "complex" directory 
layout as described in http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6762290643.html

If these hints don't help, please let me know. 
In that case please do 
"make clean; make VERBOSE=1" and post the output, so I can see what's 
happening.
