GoKawiilWhat is SDCC?
SDCC is a retargettable, optimizing Standard C (ANSI C89, ISO C99, ISO C11, ISO C23) compiler suite that targets the Intel MCS51 based microprocessors (8031, 8032, 8051, 8052, etc.), Maxim (formerly Dallas) DS80C390 variants, Freescale (formerly Motorola) HC08 based (hc08, s08), Zilog Z80 based MCUs (Z80, Z80N, Z180, SM83, Rabbit 2000, 2000A, 3000A, 4000, SM83, TLCS-90, eZ80, R800), Padauk (pdk14, pdk15), STMicroelectronics STM8, MOS 6502 and WDC 65C02. Work is in progress on supporting the Rabbit 5000, 6000, Padauk pdk13 and the f8 and f8l targets; Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 targets are unmaintained. SDCC can be retargeted for other microprocessors.
SDCC suite is a collection of several components derived from different sources with different FOSS licenses. SDCC compiler suite include:

Pic device libraries and header files are derived from Microchip header (.inc) and linker script (.lkr) files. Microchip requires that "The header files should state that they are only to be used with authentic Microchip devices" which would make them incompatible with the GPL.
