The Dhrystone test doesn't use any floating point.  But the results do say
a few things.  First, that AMAX seems to be taking on a bit more overhead
than I would have expected.  Secondly, that the compiler used here was lousy;
typical A3000 Dhrystone 2.1 numbers are in the 5000-8000 range, depending on
C compiler and settings.
