I seriously considered the need for a new compiler, when others are existing. But on the other hand, I am curious to see if I can create a lightweight alternative that would only fit my os (on those archs) and language.

I concur, that is a crazy task.

I've been thinking and designing the whole thing starting last year, at the same time I started the OS project (which borrows some pieces with freebsd, but not much). But, as you know, a compiler is.. something.

I have had great success working with the clang code generator; your compiler translates your language into clang's abstract machine language, and the clang generates optimized code for any supported target.
