The word I have is that the MPW C compiler version 2.0, provided by Greenhills
is considered one of the best optimizing C compilers nowadays, and is the
same front-end which appears on several mainframe C compilers.  However,
I don't have any statistics to back up this statement...

After having worked with the MPW C compiler for quite some time, and
delving into the guts of the generated assembly, it sure does look very
optimal.

And the MPW C compiler does support the 68020 and the 68881, but the code
generated for those processors is not as optimal as possible.

Disclamer:  I haven't the foggiest idea what I'm talking about...
