Checking for similarity with compilers that consist of orders of magnitudes more code probably doesn't reveal much. There many more smaller compilers for C-adjacent languages out there pkus cod3 fragments from text books.

There are not many more compilers with the specific optimization pass I linked.

Also, I don't think you could reuse code from a different compiler unless you used the same IR.
