You could look at the Amsterdam Compiler Kit, which features several
language front ends, including C, a very stack-oriented IL and several
code-generators. It's here:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/vakgroepen/cs/ack.html
available for FTP download. I'm really tempted myself to see how good
the generated code is, compared with GCC for C on a Pentium.
