On every platform I've tried, there are some tests which g77 performs better
than any other compiler, and there are more which go the other way. To look
at it from another angle, I'm trying to adapt the g77 testsuite to use with
other compilers. The egcs testsuite has done good things for g77, bring its
reliability up to commercial standards IMO.
