The PIC architecture is not friendly to C programming.  GCC /could/ be=20
ported, but you'd be rewriting so much of it that it isn't worth the=20
effort.  SDCC (mentioned previously ) is more matched to the PIC's=20
capabilities.

The newer DSPics should be much better suited to a 'normal' c compiler.

I'm excited about them - hopefully we'll see some before the end of next=20
year...  onboard everything.  MMMmmmmmm.....
