CC65
A cross development system for processors in the old MOSTEK 65xx family and compatible devices, it includes a macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other utilities.
Ullrich von Bassewitz had been developing the package for most of its lifetime but stopped development in 2013, however his last release was a quite extensive bug fix release, meaning that the tool as it stands is quite capable and relatively bug free. His version supported cross development from a number of platforms and a self-hosted toolchains on all systems that had full C and runtime library support (see below).
Oliver Schmidt took over the maintenance of the cc65 project, however he only supports cross compilation from a MS Windows environment, his latest release features no major changes to codebase so it could probably be ported back to OS/2 with only minimal changes.
