  This is a cross-over from comp.sys.sun (sun-spots). I recently
posted a query that asked if any sun-spots readers had experience
with C compilers that did a better job of optimization than Sun's
compiler. Several responded that GNU C did a good job in this
department and the price is right.

I also asked about optimization of concurrency and alignment for
the 68020. This drew enough puzzled responses that I suspect that
I was asking the wrong question. I am trying to find out if
instruction scheduling is a valid or useful form of optimization
for the 68020. If so, is this planned for gcc?

Please c.c. to my address as I am not yet set up to receive
the newsgroup. Thanks,
