Remeber that a compiler generates the machine language (i.e. op codes
with data) for the target processor.
So you would need to learn the PIC opcodes and such so that you can
compile the C code into PIC opcodes.
Since you are suppose to wrate a compiler I woulde assume that your free
to design it as you wish.
