That's really cool. Is it actually compiling in the background? Is this a tool you wrote?

It is running the specified compilers. The github page has more info on how it works.

There's a post on his blog about how the entire thing runs a bunch of compilers on EC2:

It uses gcc behind.

I had a chance to read part of the sources and prepare a patched version with a set of toolchains (m68k, amd64, mips). It's nicely written, it's easy to add toolchains as well as to set default compilation options.

It is kind of what you get when you run gcc with the -S option.
