GNU C is a very respectable compiler.  I know of a major corporation which
recently completed a search for a new series of computers.  Each of the
computer they considered was supported by GNU C so they used both GNU C
and the vendor's compiler for benchmarks.  To their surprise, GNU C 
generally optimized better than the vendor's compiler.  Some vendors
even reported: our next release will perform optimization equal to GNU C.
Another group built a compiler for a special computer, but felt obligated
to measure the compliance of their compiler to the ANSI standard.  They
obtained a copy of ANSI C validation suites and found that a GNU C
compiler is more in compliance than several respected commercial
compilers.  Both of these studies were performed by a major automotive
manufacturer with the target machines being high performance embedded
control computers.
