Yes, I've actually used sdcc (8051) for a 'real' product.

It has a few limitations/bugs, and I can't say I've even looked 'under the 
hood', but IMHO I think it would be a more suitable candidate for the 6809 
than gcc. From what I've heard, gcc is really only suited to 16-bit and 
above CPUs.

How much work do you think you've put into gcc so far James? And how much 
more until it's 'done'?
