They > generally favor GCC. How/where can I get information about the GNU C compiler? Is it a re-targetable compiler (like pcc)? I would like to create a C compiler for a RISC architecture which I have been looking at and currently only have pcc available to me... Would the GNU C compiler be easier, etc. to use? How does one specify the target machine? Also, does anyone know of a public domain event driven behavioral simulator which may be available...We currently have ISPS and Slang, but would like something like Verilog or equivalent. Unfortunately we don't have the $$ for a good commercial grade mixed-mode simulator..... I have been working on upgrading my PhD thesis (a behavioral simulator from a number of years back...) but would rather spend my time on the architecture, not the tools needed to explore it...
