I forget who it was, it might have been about sparc though, where the
v8 code was/is a lot faster than the default v7.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to write some good, fast, well-tested
asm code for gmp on 68060 it'd be gratefully received. It's a bit
hard to get too excited about old chips that are always going to be
quite slow, but if someone's got one and wants to improve things for
it then there's every chance some simple stuff could be an
improvement.
I guess as a minimum the gmp configs ought to select the 68000 code in
preference to the 68020 when building for 060.
