Difficult to suggest how long it would take. It depends on a lot of
things like your knowledge and experience with compilers, C language and
computer architecture, the architecture of the Processor and the
complexity involved. If it is similar to the standard processors, then,
the port is a fairly simple one.

An excellant link is:
http://www.le-hacker.org/hacks/projects/microprocessor/compiler.html
And ofcourse, you always have the colossal documentation from gnu site.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/gcc.html or something similar
Finally, last but not the least..... try this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html where you find links to lots of stuff::::
Of special interest among them is:
Porting GCC for Dunces by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
