With the recent discussion on new versions of C compilers from
Manx and Lattice I thought I'd check if there is a port of GCC,
the C compiler from GNU. Unfortunately they don't have one but
Leonard Tower Jr. suggested someone may be working on one (they
distribute source with the compiler). There are ports to other
MC680x0 machines. All you have to do is develop the runtime
libraries :-) 
 
In addition to GCC, a linker and source code debugger, the GNU
project includes a number of un*x style utilities like gawk
(awk), flex (fast lex), bison (an american yacc :-)), etc. They
also have a unique 'licensing' agreement which encourages the
free exchange of software.
