Since version 7 GCC does contain functionality to parse RTL input.
This is mostly used for writing more targeted unit tests for the RTL passes.
Have a look at https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/RTL-Tests.html or
grep for "__RTL"
in the gcc testsuite (gcc/testsuite in the source tree) to see examples
of how it's used.
Not sure how useful it will be for large-scale analysis of source code
though.
You may want to write/use a GCC plugin for that.

P.S. This list is used for discussions about the development of GCC itself.
For help using GCC please use the gcc-help list in the future.
