This is excellent!  It took me about 15 minutes to get set up (after
realizing that it needed gpasm - thank goodnes for clear error
messages!) and compile my first program:
// Test file for SDCC

char testfunc(char y);

void main(void)
{
   char x;
   x = 'A';

   x++;

   if(x == 'B')
   {
      x = testfunc(5);
   }
}

char testfunc(char y)
{
   y += 3;
   return y;
}

It did an optimization of the conditional (ie, it set x = 5, then called
the test function) so the entire asm was 5k - but only 5 of which were
actual PIC code ;-)

I'm anxious to try some of the CC5X files on it and seeing how much I
need to change.  I have a few questions about implementation, but I'll
ask them tomorrow, probably off list (maybe pettition the list admins to
make an SDCC topic?)...

Thanks for your effort!
