Running both standard Minix 1.5.10 and Minix-386 (on different partitions),
and having recently installed GCC (with many thanks to Alan Black and friends),
and having also done some testing with the new ANSI compiler, I had the unique
opportunity to compare the four compilers on my system.  I found the following
comparisons rather interesting, and thought I would share them....
