Heh.  I would say PCC's generated code doesn't compare to either modern
GCC or LLVM/Clang's output.

I would say the main reason is PCC doesn't (as far as I know) employ
any "Undefined Behaviour" caveat to optimize code, for example.

I'll let the reader decide which might have the "higher" quality.
