It is stupid to follow-up my own post, but I need to expand
this:

The target is unfortunately still moving in unknown speed.
Let alone other configurations.  In that respect, I have
been suggested by Mr. Stewart that GNU CC is a reasonable
approach to a degree which I agree to the fullest, since
I don't expect any exotic architecture in my environment.

Still, I have not received a lot answer which I assume the
unclearness of the previous post must be the reason.
(But, lots of soul expressed their interest in benchmarking
C compiler.)

Nontheless, I am searching any convenient information as to
benchmarking C compiler. I will also appreciate some degree
of explaintion to the design of the benchmark programs. i.e.
it is used for measuring cache capacity, etc. I am not
smart enough to figure out one thousand programs per week
while a few dozen will do!

Anyway, any information is welcomed! Thanks again!!
