Versions are also available for Microsoft Windows and other operating systems.GCC has been ported to a wide variety of processor architectures, and is widely deployed as a tool in the development of both free software and proprietary software. GCC is also available for most embedded platforms, including Symbian (called gcce), AMCC, and Freescale Power Architecture-based chips. The compiler can target a wide variety of platforms, including videogame consoles such as the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast. Several companies make a business out of supplying and supporting GCC ports to various platforms, and chip manufacturers today consider a GCC port almost essential to the success of an architecture.[citation needed]. }
