Microchip C18 (as well as MPLAB C30) runs fine under Linux with Wine.
You can also use Piklab as the GUI to drive it under Linux.

But a port to SDCC is nice too. ;-) If possible ,it is always nice to have a
native application under Linux (gputils/sdcc/gpsim/piklab/pk2/pyk/...) and
not to use Wine or VMware.

It is said that MPLAB and ICD2 debugging work well under Linux
with VMware provided that one has a Windows License. However
personally I would choose to dual-boot between Windows and Linux
in this case since I do not want to pay for VMware and do not want
the hassle of using a virutal machine on a personal computer. But it
might be a good solution for people who mostly work under Linux and
do not want to dual-boot.
