Hi All!

  I tested the new experimental IA32 (it means x86) branch of gcc 2.96 with
the BYTE benchmarks.
  Here are some details:

1) MSVC stills the better, but not for much.
2) 2.96 have the same speed for FPU than MSVC for Pentium MMX processors
(that's in average).
3) 2.96 is scheduling the pushs at the start of functions. (HAIFA enabled
I think)
4) 2.96 aligns jumps, loops and functions to 16 bytes boundaries by default.
5) Overall the best results are obtained using 0 align for jumps and loops.
(again, that's average).

  As usual the results are available in my compila.html page.
