I've found that Eclipse, while it does take a while to load, runs well on any system from 2000 or newer. (Milage May Vary.) Just make sure you have a decent amount of RAM. (I doubt 128MB will cut it.)

On distributions with a package manager, it's generally as easy as installing wine, grabbing the wrapper scripts, and sticking them in /bin.
There are multiple makefiles around. I use one that updates itself (uses make's variables instead of hard-coded file names). There is a script that will generate one for you. You can also use Eclipse's Managed Make to do it. (Make sure you have the mcc18 toolchain plugin installed.)

From the sound of it, there are only issues when you use a 64-bit operating system on top of a 64-bit processor. The 64-bit version of Windows XP is not widely used, IIRC. There are 64-bit Linux distros, but they are still somewhat unstable.
