To mention one of those 'some': I am writing some libraries, at the 
moment using GCC for ARM chips. Can you suggest any other freely 
available language/compiler that would minimize my efforts if I later 
decide to target other 32-bit chips too (like PIC32/MIPS, maybe intel)?

I do dislike aspects of C/C++ as a language, but among the tools 
currently available for this type of programming I see no serious 
alternatives.
