I tried to switch to egcs 1.1b for TOS development: it does seem to optimize
better, but I got the impression that the code got a bit unstable - I will
have to track this down further, so I switched back to gcc 2.7.* for now.

One warning for those trying to port egcs to MiNT: egcs 1.1b produces wrong
code for memset with 0 (which it internally changed into a bzero) when
sizeof(int) == 2 and sizeof(size_t) == 4.
