This may not be exactly what you are after, but there is a very recent book
by Allen I. Holub "Compiler Design in C"  Prentice-Hall, 1990; who presents
commentary and source code for a C-compiler that generates output in C!!
The C produced (as he says) is a very low-level such that there is almost
a 1:1 mapping to assembly language from the C code it spews out.  You get to
write said mapper for your chosen target.  The book looks to be quite good
and practical.  You can get a disk with his sources by coughing up some $$$.

However this is definitely NOT a gcc C compiler.
