You can use a cross-compiler toolchain from BKUNIX project:
http://bkunix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bkunix/trunk/cross-devel/

It includes:
  as - AT&T assembler
  ccom - Ritchie's C compiler
  mip, pcc - Johnson's portable C compiler
  cpp - C preprocessor
  c2 - optimizer for assembler output of C compilers
  cc - compiler front ends "cc" and "pcc"
  ld - linker, archiver, disassembler, and other a.out utilities
  crt - run time library for long and unsigned arithmetic
