I?m uncomfortable with excluding anything.  When I did StackGuard GCC compiler(three times, yeesh), I used it to recompile all the code that gcc compiles in the Redhat distribution.  Every single procedure (except one).  The result was both fast and virtually bug free (one bug).  This was proof of concept.
