You dont want flops figures - no floating point is used to compile.

Bogomips lives up to its name.

I suspect that compiling has fairly poor locality and is quite cache dependent, so you might be better off just benchmarking on a mobile cpu.

Not a great test either but better then the above:

  Geekbench 2 on iPhone 4S: 617
  Geekbench 2 32bit on iMac i7 @ 2.80GHz: 8557
