Impressive stuff.

I've dabbled wuth making my own ISA and softcore CPU in FPGA, but getting C code to compile has been a bit of a blocker.

I know there are some compilers one could try to port but my ISA is kinda esoteric so not straight forward, and so I considered just writing from scratch like you have.

Same. I tried digging into exsiting compilers, but they are either unsuitable at all or too complicated (clang).
