As an aside for the r8c, I have a .pcb file for an eval board for the
R8C sdip-20 chips, which breaks out the chip to 100 mil headers and
includes the oscillator:

Renesas was almost giving away the starterkits for them a while back.
Digikey carries them (but doesn't stock them, so there's a wait).
They range in price from $38 to $300 depending on how big the board
is, and they all come with cables and tools.  Search for "renesas mini
starterkit" at digikey.com.  They're easy to program; just a few gpio
and a ttl-level serial port.  Some of the newer ones can be programmed
with a single gpio line (bidirectional serial).

Also, bug reports with the gnu tools get fixed pretty quickly ;-)

The register configuration is a little weird, though.  That's a plus
for assembly programmers (wide range of choices) but it made the gcc
port more complicated.
