On my machine, cc -v says:
gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)

I'm not sure if i'm running 1.4_BETA, but if I'm not, it's from a
build a few days before.  I'm sure it's after the 1.4_ALPHA build,
because I was worried that I might mess up my system to the point
that I couldn't do the BETA build. It was installed on Apr 14 18:58
so the sources were probably from a few days before...

Anyway, this produced the following on my machine:

#NO_APP
gcc2_compiled.:
___gnu_compiled_c:
.text
	.align 2
	.type	 _foo,@function
_foo:
	enter [],0
	sprd sb,tos
	addr __GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_(pc),r0
	lprd sb,r0
	cmpd 8(fp),_foo(sb)
	seqd r1
	movd r1,r0
	br L1
	.align 2
L1:
	lprd sb,tos
	exit []
	ret 0
Lfe1:
	.size	 _foo,Lfe1-_foo
