I've still got a printed copy of the gcc 1.3x manual somewhere...

But I don't think that gcc `does all we need'. I've run benchmarks
(including SPEC CPU95 and CPU2000) on Intel, Athlon, Alpha, PowerPC,
PA-RISC and SPARC (did I miss any?) -- believe me, I *know* how bad
gcc-generated code performs.
