No documents that I know of. The current status is that the compiler can now work without any external tools: both assembler and linker are internal in the compiler for at least windows. 'make cycle' runs, cross-compilation and linking works, the compiler produces a lazarus binary which is functional AFAIK. I have not seen any timings yet, but I have seen reports that memory usage has been greatly reduced. Peter Vreman has done most, if not all, development on this. He can say more about it than I can.
