There isn't anything "magic" that ties eCos to any particular toolchain, etc. For example, I use CodeSourcery ARM EABI at the moment. If anything, the newer toolchains have shown places that the code consistency could be improved (eg. const ness of things). There are sometimes bugs that are somewhat obscure (eg. the linker coalescing sections that breaks the static constructor init), but these problems are generally fairly straight forward to find and to work around.
