I have a very strange problem. I'm currently removing not needed features from my eCos configuration in order to save some space for a rather small system.
Generally, removing features from your eCos configuration doesn't save you anything in your built image. eCos was specifically designed to make good use of link-time garbage collection; that is to say, if your application doesn't use a facility provided by the OS, the code for that facility does not appear in the final linked image. So to achieve a smaller footprint, you have to make your application use less of the OS.
An alternative strategy for you might be to start with the `minimal' eCos template and build up your configuation from there based on what your application actually needs. This may not save you very much, for the reasons described above.
