That is not the latest info.  I don't remember anymore where are the 
latest results (I thought they were at the same page as the URL I cited 
from the FAQ), but I clearly remember SET saying that with the 
optimizations in GCC 2.95.2 and with the optimal alignment used by 
Binutils 2.10, GCC no longer lags MSVC.
