These benchmarks aren't for linux, right?

If you would like to run some linux benchmarks, I could build the latest 
kernel using several different compilers for you. I'd need a kernel config 
to suit your hardware though.

But if you want to compare different compilers using benchmarks for a 
different operating system, I can't help with that. You may have more luck 
with that on the relevant mailing list or forum.
