Borland is said to be moving to Eclipse. (see 
http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10789)
While it is not ready for primetime, an open source C/C++ IDE plugin is 
being developed in Eclipse.
I have not tested it but it is said to work with MinGW and Cygwin on 
Windows, which provide GNU compilers.
