If you are a VxWorks customer, they should be able to supply Gnu
toolchain -- cross compiler, assembler, run-time libraries, linker,
debugger, etc.  You could build them yourself, but Wind River supplies 
the Gnu tools routinely for their OS.  The trickiest part is the cross 
debugger, but they do that too.  I trust you are using some kind of
MVME board from Motorola, and that there is a BSP available for it.
