You should use the gcc-help mailing list.

gcc is not best suited for people that need guidance. Works better for
self starters that just jump right in, find the code they are
interested in, and just make it do what they want. Helps to already
know gdb, to have read the relevant parts of the compiler documentation
including gcc/doc/*.texi as well as gcc/*.[ch], gcc/*/*.[ch] and
friends, know what
yacc/make/sh/autoconf/automake/libtool/dejagnu/expect/tcl/awk is and
how they work... :-)

make install, and this is covered in the documentation. We shy away

make install is pretty basic. If you need help with that, then you'll
want to read large swaths of our docs first and play around a bit to
get a feel for it.

As is this.
So, if you are serious, check out the web site, find the getting gcc
source documentation, get the source, read it, find the parts you are
interested in most, read them, build it up, install it, run the
testsuite, fire up gdb, set a break point near where you want, watch
what the compiler does... and then change it to do something fun,
compile it up and see if it does... :-)
You can try and add a builtin that does what you want, and then add the
syntax of your choice, or maybe you want to accept the syntax first,
and then build it up.
If you you discover you don't have sh/make/cc, then you'll want to go
explore how to get those things... Those types of questions aren't
suitable for this list.
This list is for the type of questions like, I'm trying to use
objc_cons_method, but the second argument is just too cryptic and the
documention is lacking, how do I create one of those?
