   My favorite for adapting C to new (or old) hardware is LCC.   
      
   You only have to rewrite the code generator, and it has a code generator   
   generator to make it easier.  The usual case, as with many Unix C   
   compilers, is to write out assembly code, and feed it to an assembler.   
      
   Since you already have an assembler, it should be pretty fast.
