Lattice does not have an optimizer on their compiler.  They were
working on one, but the person doing the optimizer left Lattice for a
competitor (not in the Amiga market).  Eventually Lattice might finish
the optimizer, especially since they've been absorbed by SAS, but
today they don't have one.

Manx also does not have an optimizer.
