There are really a lot of choices here. Just looking at the
GNAT world, we have customers doing embedded programming using
all of the following chips

ia32
i960
ARC
mips
alpha
m68k
ppc

and I may well have forgotten some. At this stage you can
probably choose the hardware based on the application
requirements rather than development environment requirements
(other vendors also support multiple targets). I am assuming
that you are talking general purpose microprocessors here. If
you move into specialized areas like DSP's, then you need to
do more research!
