Summary: Which is best for 68000, not 68020?

I need to find out what optimizing C compilers exist for the 68000. I
have found, based on personal experience, that while Green Hills makes
an awesome optimizing compiler, it gives up too much performance by
using 32 bit ints, and it would be too painful to change the existing
code I need to compile.

Does anyone out there know of a C compiler for the 68k that uses 16
bit ints and is of comparable quality to the Green Hills compiler?

Thanks in advance,
-Zigurd
