I'd like to teach an undergraduate class based on the Thompson hack
(see Ken Thompson's Turing Award lecture). I don't want to write a
"whole" compiler, so need a compiler that can compile itself,
preferably one that runs under Linux and is reasonably small. Can
anyone point me to something more appropriate than gcc (which is far
from small)?


Thanks.
