The problem lies with the use of "tail +2" within
hal/common/v2_0/cdl/hal.cdl. This syntax is no longer supported within
recent versions of the "tail" tool. You must use "tail -n +2" instead.

eCos 2.0 is now very old. I recommend that you use the eCos anonymous CVS
repository (where this problem is already resolved) instead:
