AFAIK the only gcc back end that is stack based is JVM, and it does
not use the ordinary GCC target configuration stuff nor RTL.
RTLs are simply too much related to registers (even the name... :)

So you probably won't get simple stack-based back end to work with
reasonable effort. I would suggest writing simple compiler, instead
of messing with GCC.
