It's a long and painful read the first time around, but you could build and
install the gcc internals manual from the gcc sources and read it with
"info gccint". "Info gcc" will open the user manual. Apart from that, it's
just a matter of getting used to it, which can take a while. The backend
files for the avr gcc port show a bit too.
