Hi Peter

BTW, in case you haven't seen it, I've written a guide aimed at new GCC
contributors here:
  https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

A good first step would be to try to build gcc from source, add try
adding a simple warning that emits:
  "hello world, I'm compiling function 'foo'"
for each function being compiled, and compile something with that...
then try stepping through cc1 doing that in the debugger.  There are
instructions about that in the guide above.

Hope this is helpful
Dave
