cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other tools.

cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines, including

    the following Commodore machines:
        VIC20
        C16/C116 and Plus/4
        C64
        C128
        CBM 510 (aka P500)
        the 600/700 family
        newer PET machines (not 2001).
    the Apple ][+ and successors.
    the Atari 8-bit machines.
    the Atari 2600 console.
    the Atari 5200 console.
    GEOS for the C64, C128 and Apple //e.
    the Bit Corporation Gamate console.
    the NEC PC-Engine (aka TurboGrafx-16) console.
    the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console.
    the Watara Supervision console.
    the VTech Creativision console.
    the Oric Atmos.
    the Oric Telestrat.
    the Lynx console.
    the Ohio Scientific Challenger 1P.

If you want to find out whether your code is really optimized or not, try it out on your Commodore 64.  

As for becoming a maintainer, I have most of the perquisites (familiarity with Mageia, C programming, RPMs, enthusiasm) but what I lack is free time.

I guess that SPEC files aren't that tricky for super simple stuff like cc65.  This worked for me.

Actually this package looks to be a great deal more difficult to package up.  Happily the fedora source package builds and works correctly, withdrawing the package request.
