I don't have any details.  I just saw it mentioned here:

| No. GCC does not generate code that will run on the platform. While it is
| x86-based, there are complex endian concerns in the code generator,
| significant ELF header differences, and major ELF debug section differences
| that cannot be emitted by GCC. There have been at least 3 unsuccessful
| attempts I know of to port gcc to the platform and/or to generate cross
| compile code for it.
