Have you tried Tiny CC? When it's sufficient for the task, it's compile

Note that the guy who did that didn't use _any_ optimization flags --
not even -O -- so the result doesn't have much connection with reality
(without -O, many compilers won't even _try_ to produce good code).
Unfortunately that sort of idiocy seems all too typical for benchmarking
at Phoronix...
