      On porting gcc to the ST, specifically about the 32 bit ints, I believe
    that Lattice uses 32 bit ints, which is why it is slow compared to the
    other compilers on the market.  I am not sure I would want to try to do
    something as massive as gcc with Lattice C, though.

Why bother with Lattice?  GCC can and does compile itself.
