Sorry all. I simply forgot to state that fact. If You wish to try, You'd
better use the sample <http://www.vsr.si/ecos/download/vmWare-net/eCos.cfg>
as the start point for confiuring a suitable VMware virtual machine. A gdb
suitable PTY is also implemented there (VMware uses ptys0 and gdb uses
ttys0).
