I've used an early version of Green Hills (1.6.3) and later versions (1.8.0).
(4.x BSD, but I don't think the code generation changes between different
hosts).  The early versions were very buggy and generated very poor code in
some circumstances.  The newer versions don't suffer from those problems.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Green Hills.
