Try the Small C Compiler. There was a book that included source code
for it, and code generator for Intel-8080, which was accumulator-based
CPU. This compiler is very primitive, very easy to retarget within
architecture and provides very good playground.


The book is most likely out of print, but may still be in many
libraries, and the source is in public domain and is widely available
on the 'Net.
