    Do they have the "Small C Compiler" for
the 6502? I know you can get a
 Z80 or 8080
 compiler under CP/M. Note the version #1 does not have for or &&
 instructions. 
It wouldn't really be fair to use a compiler for the code to compare
processors.  You'd end up testing the relative merits of two compilers as
much as testing the processors.
