3rd party compilers for Sun-3?

We are trying to investigate 3rd party compilers for a Sun-3 workstation.
We have in house two different versions of the Green Hills compiler (1.7.3
from them, and 1.8.3a from Oasys).  So far, neither has proved
satisfactory:

	*) 68020 support doesn't seem to work right in

a specific case, and

	*) calling conventions don't match with the Sun

compiler, which means some libraries don't work.

	*) that which doesn work runs 15-20% SLOWER, even

though the code is 40% smaller, and much better looking.

Has anyone out there gotten the Green Hills to work on a Sun-3, or found
some other compiler to use?

Please reply directly to me, or through comp.sys.sun, as I do not read
comp.compilers regularly.
