What are you doing with Zigbee and 8051? Are you getting a particular module from someone? What kind of application, commercial? > > Anyone heard murmurings about a Win8051(Gcc) project?

A while back I heard of a nascent port for the PIC, but it certainly wasn't ready to be used. Your best bet for free tools will probably be SDCC if it's going to be 8051. I certainly wouldn't mind an 8051 port of GCC (as Atmel sells 8051 processors too).
