JPI TopSpeed C deserves a good look at.  It performs excellent optimisation
with almost no problems with the ability to pass parameters in registers
(completely customisable).  And all that with very little loss in speed -
the compiler's speed rates about the same as TCC 2.0.

The libraries (for which you can obtain source at a reasonable cost) all
use register calling conventions - unlike MSC's library in which most are
_cdecl.  The library has a high compatibility with both TC and MSC.
