Yep, it's true.

I've got SDCC generating output compatible with gpasm (and consequently MPASM).
[which means that linker support will not be available {but it also means that
you'll be able to use SDCC under windows and with MPLAB, etc. (even though the
primary target is Linux) } ]. I'm in the process of creating an automated test
set up with SDCC, gpasm, and gpsim. If you want to keep up with the latest SDCC
progress, I'd suggest lurking on the gnupic mailing list.
