gbdk was originally based off lcc using a Z80 backend written by Pascal
Felber.  The four main reasonas for changing were the lack of
optimisations, not being able to assign into registers, the license, and
that it used the standard ANSI promotion rules.  Due to the way the
backend was implemented it was also impossible to share it between the z80
and the gbz80.
