Have you tried looking at the assembly code it generates (I assume for
your 68020 system)?  At my last job we used a Green Hills C cross-compiler
from VAX/VMS to 68000, and some of the "optimized" code it emitted was
truly astounding (as in bletcherous).  When it worked it worked quite
well, but it wasn't without flaws.  Caveat:  this was a coupla years back.
