I could not believe that there are many users which use -mint8 *NOT*.
The code becomes slow and very large if this option is not set. My real
world applications will not run without -mint8. So I simply have to use
the old compiler versions which is not a solution.
Because the optimizer never could "see" the ranges of all vars to strip
them down to 8bit the only option is to have something like mint8. As I
know all commercial embedded compilers have such an option. OK, gcc is
not intended for small embedded devices, but for years it works very well.
I am in hope to get mint8 back :-)
