Yes.
The are two attempts to bring the GNU tools up-to-date in developing palm
applications. I first tried John Marshall's implementation, but kept
getting compiler errors when building the tools. I tried to take notes of
all the mods I had to make, but the list grew too big.
I then found another person (Michael Sokolov) who was doing the same thing.
His version of the tools compiled cleanly and worked. You can download his
tarball at:
ftp://ftp.jpsystems.com/prc-tools.0.6.0beta.tar.gz
You also need a resource compiler. A useful one can be found at:

I think I'd like to get John Marshall's version to work, because his
installation tries to build a C++ compiler, as well. Michael's version is
just a C compiler. But first I need to familiarize myself with Palm
development, so I went with the project that worked.
