I have, and anyone may pick them up at:

	ftp://ftp.sn.no/user/egilk/g21k-rel3.0.tar.gz

I've made a few changes to make it compile in a sane manner, please
refer to the README.
	
Also note that this is only the compiler. Most essential parts
of a useful Sharc development system is still missing:

      a. Assembler.
      b. Linker/librarian.
      c. C library, including signal processing functions.
      d. Debugger.

AFAIK, AD uses their own linker and assembler. I assume that it would 
be possible to port GNU stuff, but DSPs tends to be rather different from
conventional processors, so it is probably a rather big job. The C-like
syntax of the AD assemblers would also create difficulties, I'd say.

WRT the debugger, the AD debugger seems to contain parts of GDB.
This should mean that they would have to supply the source code for the
entire debugger, it pressed. Alas, I have not had the time to investigate 
this any further.

BTW, my order took months to process, and you'd have to fork out $150 for
every new version of the compiler. I wonder how far the GPL can be 
stretched in this respect?
