I wish. FPGA tools, without exception, suck. No C programmer would put up with compilers and linkers that work the way FPGA synthesis tools do. Open-source efforts could only improve things.

FPGA vendors don't document the details needed to configure their chips at the nuts-and-bolts level, so any FOSS toolchain would have to rely on a sustained reverse engineering effort.
