Yep. It's great. (I'll stick with the GNU tools, but many people like the
Metrowerks stuff)

egcs is no problem, it works almost anywhere ;)
And SuSE 5.3 already comes with egcs 1.03 if I remember correctly... That's
the version that was current about three weeks ago ;) Should be fine as
long as you dont' want to use much C++

LibGGI ;)
Honestly, if you write your games for libggi, it will run on
SvgaLib/X11/fbcon/kgicon/aalib/whatever - without any changes. Have a look
at http://www.ggi-project.org/  for more on this. (They are planning to have
their next release at the end of October)

You could also try SDL (http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/), a
platform independent toolkit.
