Not easily, no. Robert Nordier had som FP code he was compiling with it. I have no floating point intensive code, and I run on an atypical platform (the Pentium Pro, which has a quite different profile than the Pentium. The P-II is supposedly like the Pentium). >From looking at the optimizations passes I can say that it should be at least as fast as gcc for 386, 486, and Pentium Pros, faster for Pentiums, and I don't know for P-IIs - I have never really experimented to find the performance profile for the P-IIs.
