Not to get too far off your question, but what type of chip/machine is it that you want supported? Someone may have already (or be in the process of) ported GCC to that chip/machine and would allow you to get it for free. I understand that GCC 2.0 will have support for more chips/machines than GCC 1.39. (Although I could very well be wrong). john gay.
