One source I found helpful is the 2nd edition of _Compiler_Construction_
by Pyster.  In his first edition he used a subset of Pascal to
produce a compiler for a subset of Pascal.  In the 2nd edition, he
uses readily available tools (lex and yacc) to build parts of
a C compiler.  What it lacks in thorough definitions of lex and yacc
it makes up for in examples.
   (I'm not entirely sure the title is correct.  The author is.)
