nanogui: Thread: Compile v0.92 for eCos (addendum)

Hi Greg,
     today I have work on compilation inside the eCos tree. I was able 
to build the nanoX part for my eCos target.
Now I have some link issue, but I think that I will resolve quickly.

Working on the predefined ecos_app.c I see that the value for each eCos 
thread stack size is defined at 65536, for my target board this is a 
very high value because it has 56kB of SRAM... And there are many thread 
that run together.

Do you think that this value can be reduced or it is mandatory?

Thank in advance.
Best regards,
Stefano.

Stefano - 

You should be able to run with quite a bit less stack than 65k, although I
seem to remember some routines that may have auto-stack allocations
that are large.  You will have to set the ALLOCA define in include/device.h
in order to have the system allocate large values from the heap.

With regards to building, I don't know which order is required.  I suggest
starting with building the win32 api stuff first, as it doesn't have the complexity
of the LINK_APP_INTO_SERVER that will be required for nano-X apps,
since all eCos apps run fully linked instead of separate processes.

Regards,

Greg
