I may be able to hold out some hope to you. There was a posting recently on the eCos mailing list which describes something that sounds very like the problem you are describing: http://www.spinics.net/lists/ecos/msg27032.html (http://www.spinics.net/lists/ecos/msg27032.html)

Following this, it seems that a fix is to change the definition of sockaddr_inarp in packages\net\bsd_tcpip\current\include\netinet to: 

struct sockaddr_inarp {
    u_char    sin_len;
    u_char    sin_family;
    u_short sin_port;
    struct    in_addr sin_addr;
    struct    in_addr sin_srcaddr;
    u_short    sin_tos;
    u_short    sin_other;
    u_char     pad;# define SIN_PROXY 1
};

i.e. add 14 bytes of padding to the end.

Hope that helps!
