Yes, read this https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet

and you will know how a cross platform self-hosting C compiler works in 1,982 lines of code

and if you want to know how an assembler works read this: https://github.com/oriansj/mescc-tools/

only about 562 lines for the linker, 645 for the macro assembler and 204 lines if you want dwarf stubs in your binaries. Oh and it is cross platform too

I'm a fan of this.

But, note "The PLAtform NEutral Transpiler"..."allows one to compile a subset of the C language".

Subset of C not being C.
