SDCC has been a nice resource for a variety of MCUs. I wish it had support for some of the 8-bit PIC chips like the PIC10 and PIC12... maybe one day!

If it has not to be SDCC, Mikroe compilers have support for them across C, BASIC and Pascal compilers, if I am not mistaken.
The PIC compiler options were never standards compliant up until around when Microchip purchased AVR. There are great chips now that have free gcc support, reasonable power draw, and 32bit float support (ATSAM3X8E current prices are not worth it in many cases.)
PIC does still have a few key use-cases, but most people will hit the stack depth limits pretty quickly in C. A pic12 Assembly project is fun, but the limitations cut deep these days.
STM32/ESP32/RP2350 or nRF for low power stuff are far less effort these days, and give much better value. =3
