Should be, but i have never done it myself. However, i would actually recommend using the synthetic target on Linux. > I tried the redbbot on the Vmware and the "hello.c" example works.

These are good tests to see if your changes have broken anything. Try doing: ecosconfig new pc_rltk8139 edit ecos.ecc and change CYG_HAL_STARTUP to floppy ecosconfig tree make -s tests Once you have fixed all the compiler error you can run the test cases in install/tests/kernel/current.
