The Old Man and the C edit / delete
Sun's TeamWare team adopts C++ in the early 90s, and reflects on what they did and didn't like. (I find it kind of amazing that they didn't see any value in local variable declarations.)

Replacing a Unix userspace more-or-less from scratch, including a compiler, libc, and so on.
The Descent to C edit / delete
An excellent overview of what makes C (and the C subset of C++) an unusual programming language. Students: well worth a read.

DICE C Compiler for the Amiga » Fun with virtualization edit / delete
Someone else who figured out that you could combine the runtime from Amiga Shopper's cut-down version of DICE with the executables from the shareware version to get a more-or-less complete compiler. I remember doing this in 1995... of course, it's all open source now!

gcc6809 - GNU C Compiler for the Motorola 6809 processor - Google Project Hosting edit / delete
GCC for the 6809. This shouldn't be terribly surprising given that GCC supports 8-bit-like models of the AVR; it'd be nice if it did more of these!
I was aware of most of this, but the bit about typedef was new to me!
