I think that updating to the latest version of GCC would be nice, but
I am curious what the codec performance is on a "non-ideal" situation.
I noticed that the tests you performed are against a PP target which,
as I understand, still uses long calls.
I would imagine that the long call targets would represent the
best-case performance by migrating.
Have you done any tests on the Gigabeat or Sansa AMS to see how the
codec performance stacks up on the EABI builds verus the 'old' GCC
setup we use?
If the results on the Gigabeat or Sansa AMS are similar to the Sansa
v1 results then I would be for updating the toolchain.

The AMS Sansas are in a bad situation w.r.t. to test_codec. Their low
memory doesn't permit running test_codec on most test files since test
codec wants the full file in ram (you can basically only test upto
128kbit/s). But if someone tested gigabeatfx, it should give quite
similar results since they have almost the same processor.
I don't think the extra function call overhead caused by long calls are
noticeable.
Best regards.
