as you might guess from the subject: I'm trying to find a toolchain for
freescale's hcs12 or S12X family of microcontrollers. Currently i'm
using Codewarrior on the Windows machine at work, but as i'm a tad
dissatisfied by it's lack of decent syntax-checking and have no windows
at home, i'd rather use some free compiler available for my rather
unusual platform (Linux on PowerPC). So gcc would probably be the best
bet.

Understand your frustration with codewarrior, however one reason for
sticking with it is the
fairly good BDM in-circuit debug capability of the HCS12 family.

The pod will set you back $100, but ultimately it is worth it.

I don't know if a gcc-based tool chain will really be able to leverage
that.
