There is no GCC of JAL. There is an embryonic JAL to C translator (The=20
idea being to use this for non 10/12/16/18F cpus). IMO a stupid idea. Be=20
better to take JAL's intermediate p-Code and do stuff with it as it=20
hardly changes ever compared with the JAL Language. A compiler from=20
JAL's p-code to ARM etc is a better idea.

JAL compiler does run on Linux, Mac OS and Windows as the source is=20
available and it's in C. Compilers are easy enough to port to different=20
hosts if the target code is unchanged (PIC 10/12/16/18 families in this=20
case) as there no I/O other than file.
