Thanks to all that replied to my shockingly newbie question! I googled more and
found the answers I needed. I love SDCC! But all of my work with SDCC so far
has been Z80 because I've worked with Z80 for well over 25 years now.
I wanted to switch to more modern chips. I liked the Atmel 89C55WD because it
has four IO ports plus 24K flash and 256 SRAM. It seemed to be darn cheap for
all of what it has built in.
But now that I need more SRAM, I have to give up two ports. That's OK for my
current project. But if anyone wants to suggest an alternative part before I
begin development of this project then I am all ears.
The project is to provide a simple web server that allows turning 8 relays on
or off. I am intending to use the ENC28J60. I've found code written for it
using AVR and I am in the process of rewriting it for AT89C55WD. I am trying to
do it so that it's portable to almost any 8051. If anyone has already done
ENC28J60 code for the 8051 series, I'd love to see it.
Mike

There used to be a link on the SDCC web page that described the .cdb file
format that has debugging information, including the line/address
relationships. I'm not sure what happened to i, but I'll tell you the part
you need to know.
The .cdb file is a plain text file with one debugging record per line. The
lines that begin "L:C" are the records with the address of a particular
"L"ine of "C" source. This is followed by the source filename and line
number, both separated by the "$" symbol. Then there are two other fields
that aren't particularly important, also separated by a "$" symbol. At the
very end is a ":" symbol and the hexadecimal address associated with that
line (although there is no prefix explicitly denoting the use of
hexadecimal).
So for example, the line:
L:C$sample.c$32$1$16:51
indicates that the code associated with line 32 of sample.c begins at
address 0x51 in memory.
Although I have no idea how to integrate this with Eclipse, it should be
fairly simple to translate the line/address information in the .cdb file
to the format that Keil generated using a convenient scripting language of
your choice.

Found it; it was moved to the wiki:

Please excuse my newbie questions.
I am working on a project that will use an 89C55WD which is an Atmel 8051
variant.
I need more than the 128/256 bytes of RAM. I have seen that 8051 supports up to
64K or external RAM.
These two articles describe adding 64K of RAM.
http://www.8052.com/tutmemor.php
http://www.mikroe.com/chapters/view/65/#ch2.4
Is support built into SDCC for using the external 64K of RAM? Are there any
flags or switches that I need to use to use external RAM instead of built in
128/256 RAM bytes?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes it does.

How the external RAM is implemented in hardware is not visible from
firmware. Just add it as you normally would, and tell SDCC to put stuff
there, and you're good to go.
You can also use mcs51 implementations that have on-chip memory in
that address space, transparently. I've done bunches of work with the
Philips (erm, NXP) P89C66x chips, for example, which have "external" RAM
implemented in that fashion.

Hello Michael,
SDCC will not magically start using the external memory when it runs
out of internal. You have to place your variables there using the
__xdata keyword. Or if you're lazy you can use the large memory
model which places everything in external ram. Also have a look at
--xram-loc and --xram-size to tell sdcc how much memory you have and
where it is located.
If the hardware is not yet set in stone I suggest to also look at
other microcontrollers which have "external ram" internally. This
frees up many IO pins.
Welcome to the 8051
