Is there a C compiler available in public domain (possibly gcc with some
options) which could use full capabilities of the coprocessor of 
SUn Sparcstations. I have found the cc-compiled numerical programs to
run much slower than their equivalents written in Fortran and compiled
with "-cg89" or "-fast" option of the "f77". It seems to me that this is
a matter of the way they use coprocessor.

thanks in advance for any help,
