Fellows,
I'm just wondering if:
1. Somebody uses -mcall-shifts?
2. Will it be better to perform shifts left of a variable as a multiplication 
under certain circumstances? For example, following operations will be 
performed better via multiplicaion, providing HW multiplier exists:

char a << [numb]
where numb are 3,4,5,6,7

int a << [numb]
where numb are [3-7] [10-15]

long a << [numb]
where numb are [8-15] [20-31]


What do you think?
