The Microchip dsPIC parts. Their compiler is a port of GCC.

Lattice has some support under Linux but I have not used it, just the Windows
version at work. I have found the Lattice parts and tools to be cheaper than
Xilinx or Altera.
There is also Actel that never seems to get much press. You can now get a
real ARM core in their parts, without the hideous fees.
