GCC sources

XTensa is a tensilica product.  You will have to contact them directly.
See http://www.tensilica.com .

They do have some kind of gcc port, but nothing has been contributed to the
FSF yet.  I don't know if they are distributing sources or binaries for gcc.

It isn't clear if it makes sense for gcc to have a XTensa port though.
XTensa is a configurable processor.  If every implementation of XTensa is
different, then there is no single port that is useful to add to gcc.
I believe they automatically generate a gcc port depending on how you have
configured the processor, but I have no idea how sophisticated this is.  I
doubt that they want to distribute sources of the generator/configurator/
or whatever it is, but it should be possible to get a copy of an example
generated gcc port.  You might have to be a customer to get a copy though.
