GNU C is the best because it can become better than the best. If your
MWC is better, then I would just fix the source code of gcc so that
gcc could produce better code sequence as to that particular case that
mwc pointed at. People say gcc is inevitably poor because it does not
look after 68000 adequately because 68000 is now inconsequential. I
don't think so. m68k specific code can be added as much as one would
feel necessary: theres no limit to it. And I must mention the gnu assembler
is very good in terms of determining the shortest branch code etc.
