Last 5 years, I've been working with the followings chips:
 - TI TMS320c5x DSP (weird C compiler with 16bit chars)
 - Intel 296 microcontroller
 - ARM7TDMI.
Unfortunately, having the compiler is not the the only thing.
To be productive you also need a good debugger (which gdb is not, sorry)
and you need the toolchain compatible with your embedded kernel
and libraries...
