Not in the official gnu stuff, but I *KNOW* for a fact I was mixing GNU CC compiled stuff and Acorn's as output (mind you, it *WAS* the Acorn Archimedes version of GCC, and probably had a mangled backend to support Acorns as format). I know 'cos I have a hard drive at home with a linked (ARM) version of the freebsd kernel :) (non-functional, unfortunately) > Actually, it is from ARM. It is part of the ARM Software Development Kit. Aha. It'll be standard Acorn AS then I bet. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the Norcrosft C Compiler either.
