I would suggest "Computer Architecture a Quantitative Approach" by John L
Hennessy and David A Patterson, Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, c1990. They
speak at several different points on how HLL compilers will affect the
system performance. In addition, they mention some common pitfalls
designers tend to not think about till after the fact...like KISS for
instruction sets because compiler writers deal with a simple principle of
"make the common fast and the rest correct." (Of course, they are biased
by background...but the book has many good points)
