The gcc web site, it has lots of other resources.  Pointers to book on
compilers and algorithms, pointers to mailing lists that have
thousands of interesting questions and answers concerning quite of few
of the subtlies of the compiler and so on...

This isn't necessary for porting.

It was meant to be obvious.  f for fortan, java for java, cp for C++,
objc for Objective C and so on.  Just explore it some, it makes pretty
good sense.
