The man who "mated" the PDP-11 front-end and the MC68000 back-end and 
adapted the resulting compiler to the Mac is Peter Fink.  I believe this is
the compiler which was posted to the net (in net.mac.sources) about half a
year ago.  I also believe that a version of this compiler is available
from the Stanford Macintosh Users Group.

I don't know why you think the compiler produces M-code, since you state
yourself that it incorporates an MC68000 code generator ...
