May be some more people are interested in the answers.
The general information on our compiler tools follows below.
Currently the tools are not available via ftp.




TOOLBOX(1) GMD-Forschungsstelle-Karlsruhe TOOLBOX(1)




NAME
          toolbox - tool box for compiler construction


DESCRIPTION
          Toolbox is a set of program generators or compiler
          construction tools for nearly all phases of a compiler. The
          compiler construction tools support the automatic generation
          of compilers for imperative programming languages. The
          design goals for this tool box were practical usability,
          significantly reduced construction effort for compilers, and
          high quality of the generated compilers. Especially with
          respect to efficiency the tools are competitive to
          programming by hand. Currently the tools can generate
          compiler modules in the target languages C and Modula-2.
          First realistic applications demonstrate the excellent
          performance of the tools and show that the tools allow the
          construction of production quality compilers.

          Rex generator for lexical analyzers
          Lalr LALR(1) parser generator
          Ell LL(1) parser generator

          Estra transformation of abstract syntax trees
          Beg generator for code generators
          Reuse library of reusable modules
