While it's not PD, it's free and source comes along with it along with
a strange liscence requiring any re-distribution to include the source.

I'm of course talking about the GNU C Compiler and GNU Assembler.
Both are somewhat portable and such.  They work on 68000 class machines
however.  I haven't looked into what would need to be fixed up to
use 'em on an Amiga.  Of course the assembler would need to be
taught about the amiga linker format.  Or possibly you could use
somebody else's assembler?  (In which case the C Compiler would
have to be taught about the assembler format :-)).

We've got both here in ~ftp/archive/GNU, ftp to a.ms.uky.edu.
