Yes. There are some patches for BINUTILS/GCC/GDB on Japanese Yaroze site. 
(Mr. Motohashi has made this patch.)
These works fine almost UNIX environment. (Linux, BSDs, SunOS etc.)

And Mr. Motohashi make a utility "hssutils" to transmit UNIX<->PS, too.
This tool uses HSS protocol to transmit a data to PlayStation.
The HSS protocol is used by GDB and need to run RDB.EXE on
PlayStation when using.

I made another tool "SIOCONS for UNIX" for UNIX environment.
This works like original siocons almost same.
(Ive checked this program works fine on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
 I think It will work on Linux, too )

You can get these patches and tools from Japanese site.

** These pages and tool's documents are written in Japanese.
** I don't know whether SCEA/SCEE people can access to SCEI or not.
