When I ported PCC to the french ISIS supercomputer, I found the "Detailled
Tour Through the Portable C Compiler" a very helpful document. It has been
published as a TechReport at the Case Western Reserve University (sp?) in the
beginning of 1980s (sorry, I don't remember the name of the author). This report
goes deeper inside the (PDP11 version) of PCC and describes the porting towards
the H/6 computer (a sort of weird architecture).

If the precise reference is neeeded, I may be able to find it ... within a week 
when I'll be at home (i.e., Paris).

This is true for F77 (at least).

Good luck !
