However, the above-mentioned press release says that "the Palm OS Developer Suite is a new tool chain from PalmSource Inc." Anyone have more info on this?
The new tool chain means precisely that. A new C/C++ compiler sitting underneath Eclipse. ...

I've also heard the the tool chain will produce binaries for all versions of the OS when coupled with the appropriate SDK (68K, 68K+ARM, ARM only, and up through OS 6).
The Palm OS Developer Suite is a combination of development tools: it uses the standard gcc and gdb for developing x86 applications and PNOs for use in PalmSim, prc-tools for 68K application development, and new tools for ARM development. [1]

I'd say you're first assumption would be right. It's been done before. prc-eclipse.
Don't equate the two too closely, however! Right now, doing that is about the same as equating the letter 'a' to the complete works of Christopher Marlowe^W^W William Shakespeare. :-)
