I think this is a misunderstanding. I didn't want to suggest to switch
to the eCos license (although that's not a problem either).

What I want to make sure is that the ELF files consist of 100% free
software, i.e. that no binary-only, closed-source stuff is linked into
those binaries; that would be a problem.

If the eCos libs (and other objects/code, if any) you linked into the
ELF files are all GPL'd or under the eCos license (which is
GPL+exception), then everything is fine.
