Some time ago we assisted a client making a sensible 2-stack machine in
silicon.

First silicon is running, the end-useris very excited. They now want a C
compiler
for this machine. If you are interested in writing a C compiler and know how
to
do it, we want to hear from you and gwt your CV/resume. Funding is available.

Please note that all the technical details are under NDA and that copyright of
the compiler must with be open or end up with our client. Technical details of
the
CPU will be released once you have signed an NDA. Assistance with the
optimiser may also be available.

I recommend posting this on comp.lang.c .I think it would also be on topic
on comp.compilers .I'm not sure if the latter group allows crossposting.

Is GPL3 acceptable? That would be necessary if the compiler is a GCC port.

I gotta say that I could have thought this would have been something to
have started way before you have the silicon...

LLVM is probably the way to go with this nowadays, FWIW. Pace Paul Rubin,
I am not sure what the licence conditions for that would be.

Consider Archelon Inc. which can quickly build C compilers for special silicon:

Good news, thanks.

The Zylin zpu is a single stack zero operand processor with gcc compiler[1]
