(I personally think this comment above is absurd)

For c or c-like languages clang is a great place to start.
http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html

http://clang.llvm.org/comparison.html#gcc

LLVM isn't my preferred choice for compiler backend, but does have a
fairly low entry point for new engineers.
