What about the OpenWatcom compiler; the commercial Watcom compiler has
gone open source. It produces 16-bit as well as 32-bit code. Also, like
GCC it is quite flexible for use in embedded development (albeit,
incompatibly). See http://www.openwatcom.org/ for more info.

The compiler targets several architectures as well as generating excellent
code (sometimes better than GCC, sometimes worse). It might be interesting
to try and port eCos to to it.

OpenWatcom can also generate code for Alpha (not maintained?) and PPC, I
think some other architectures may be in there as well (even IBM 370,
IIRC).

Cheers,
Mark G.
