As someone pointed out the last time this thread aired, why not take the
source for the Sozobon C compiler for Atari/Amiga and use it as a base
instead?  GCC would be too much work.  I have looked at Sozobon C and
porting it would be many orders of magnitude easier.  You can get Sozobon C
from any comp.sources.atari-st archives, and I think (I may be wrong) that
it's on one of the Amiga archive sites available via anonymous ftp (I forget
where).

(I've forwarded this to comp.sys.ibm.pc, I think that's a more appropriate
 place for this discussion).
