GCC internal documentation is unfortunately sparse, frequently stale
and often disorganized. We have made some efforts at fixing it, but
there really isn't a great source of internal documentation.
What we have is linked off of the GCC wiki page. In particular, you
may want to visit http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted which
contains pointers to the internal manuals, articles, presentations and
other documentation.
