LCC is a smallish retargetable compiler using IBURG as a backend
generator so you may want to check that.


The OLIVE code generator (backend generator actually) is part of the
SPAM compiler of Princeton.


A third choice would be to use a very old version of BEG (circa 1994)
that is still floating around the web. It is a commercial tool now.


These should be more easily retargetable than VPO (in terms of LOC)
but I'm not sure on how they handle register allocation (e.g. LCC core
uses a simple local register allocation theme).


The first two are certainly free (but you should check licensing
issues).
