Yes, the TMS320VC33 has free tools.  GO to the TI website, 
drill down to the 'VC33, and go to the "University SDK" 
and youcan download the ools for free.  This is the same C 
compiler that they normally charge $1495 for.

There is also an (older?) version of the GNu tyool chain 
for the C3x done at Canterbury Univeristy in New Sealand.

I don't know of any free tools for the Analog Devices 
SHARC series parts.  There are free tools (Gnu) for the 
Blackfin, but that is a 16-bit fixed-point DSP coupled 
with a 32-bit RISC GP processor.
