Need clarity on compiler & emulator usage

[Thamarai Selvan]

hi all,

I have a real strange question
Let us take it specific on ppc architecture if needed
what is the advantage of using GNU compiler as such?
why not other compilers like Diab C compiler can be used?
can we use vision ice emulators to download the image if not why?
what is the advantage of using BDI2000?
what are the constraints that prevent the usage of the above compiler and
emulator?

Thanks in before for all your inputs

with regards
Thamarai Selvan.G
