Description

With a few steps I added gcc6809 and CMOC to the compilers. For the latter I wrote a simple wrapper [2] that translates command line options. A screenshot can be found here:

Research direction
The issue involves adding gcc6809 and CMOC compilers. First, examine existing compiler definitions in the project (e.g., in the lib/ directory) to understand the pattern. The user provided a wrapper script for CMOC; consider integrating that. Also, review the project's documentation on adding compilers. Finally, test the integration locally.
