We are just about to start some fairly large scale software development, on
Sun sparcstation IPCs, and are wondering what C compiler to use. Our
alternatives appear to be the Sun supplied cc compiler, the unbundled Sun C
compiler or gcc.

I have used gcc in the past on Sun 3/80 boxes and was very impressed with it, 
but I've been told (and not by a salesman) that its sparc object code is not
well optimized, although future releases may fix this problem.

Does anyone out there have some experience in this area ?, I would appreciate
any help or advice.
