Developing/Production with GNU. Question: IS IT RELIABLE?

Our company has been looking for a good C compiler for a long time (i.e.
preferably ANSI compliant).  We are currently doing most of our Unix
development using an Altos Series 2000 and are very displeased with the C
compiler and tools available with it (e.g. lack of a good debugger).

Would those of you out there using GNU C, GNU Debugger and GNU EMACS consider
it to be reliable?  Would you use it in a production atmosphere such as ours
(i.e. write entire applications for other customers in it)?

If so, what all do I need to download?  Obviously, I need the compiler,
debugger and editor, but what else?  Libraries?  Is osu-cis a good place to get
the most current version?

Any information pertaining to this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Bruce
