GCC is your best option, with clang-llvm being a reasonable alternative.

[size=2]The CS compiler is still GCC, so still bound by the GPL license, so I guess they are still going to have to make the source code available. [/size][size=2]Failing that you can grab the latest mainline GCC, and recompile for ARM. I tend to use the latest Linaro branch; they are pushing pretty hard ([/size]https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro) on improving code generation.

It's GCC - it's available on any platform you want - but you'll probably have to recompile it yourself =)
