XSCompiler : This MSDOS compiler generates 32-bit protected mode programs from a language that is C compatible, but includes classes and multiple inheritance. It comes with the standard C library, graphics, sound, multitasking, compression, animation, GIF, PCX, FLI/FLC, and other libraries. The compiler itself is compiled using this language.
GNAT : GNAT is an Ada95 compiler with the source code available in Ada95.
Rapid-Q : Rapid-Q is a free IDE and BASIC op-code compiler system for Win32, Linux, Unix...  It is very easy to use and to integrate with many other goodies like mySQL, cgi, DirectX, Direct3D, GTK ...
Mingw : A very good Win32 port of the GNU GCC compiler (used in Dev-C++)
Cygwin : Another free and good Win32 port of GCC and GNU Utils
GCC : THE one and only GCC compiler system. Runs on nearly any system.
Phoenix/Envelop : Rapid Development under Basic.
B++ : B++ is a BASIC compiler built on top of C++ - it converts BASIC code to C++, and then calls C++ compiler to produce EXE (or DLL). Source code is in Free Pascal.
GNU Ada : Free ADA compiler.
Dev86 / BCC : x86 C/Assembler development tools (C compiler, assembler, linker). Under the GPL. Linux and DOS binary distributions available.
http://www.digitalmars.com : FREE C/C++ Compiler for DOS, Win & NT by theauthor of Zortech C++ .
Virtual Pascal : A tool of choice for 32-bit cross-platform development using the Pascal language. It is compatibile with Borland Pascal and Delphi, including the Run-Time Library (RTL), an optimizing compiler, a powerful integrated debugger, and comprehensive online documentation.
PlugSys Xbase compiler : PlugSys has a free edition and a Professional edition on their web site. It is a character based compiler for the Xbase(dbase, clipper) language. There are both DOSWin95/98/NT and Linux version. Same code compiles on either system. Also has a server page tool (free and pay versions). The documentation that comes with the download is great. Free version only requires registration to download.
Context programming language : Simple programming language and compiler for MS-DOS with sources and sample programs on it's own input language by Andrei V. Khokhlov
Babya : B++ compiler for DOS with setup and Windows 9x support.
OpenWatcom : Open Watcom is a joint effort between SciTech Software, Sybase®, and a select team of developers, which will bring the Sybase Watcom C/C++ and Fortran compiler products to the Open Source community.
Self : A port of a compiler for the Self programming language to Linux. The system was originally developed at Stanford University and Sun, and it forms the technological base of the Java Hotspot compiler. A nice GUI is included.
SmallEiffel : The GNU compiler for the Eiffel language. Requires an ANSI C compiler. Supports AIX, Amiga, BeOS, BSD, Cygwin, MSDOS, FreeBSD, GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, MacOS, NetBSD, NeXT, OS/2, OSF1, QNX, SCO, Solaris, OpenVMS, Windows 95/98/NT/2K and XENIX.
Inno Pascal : Inno Pascal is a simple Pascal compiler for Win32. It produces compact, native-code x86 executables without requiring any external assemblers or linkers. It was written entirely from scratch; it is not based on any other existing compilers. Full source code is included under the GPL license.
Harbour Project : Harbour is an Open Source Clipper Compatible Compiler. It includes OO extentions, and lots of useful adds. The Licence is GNU+Harbour Exception, what means that the licence does not infects the programs you produce with the compiler.

2)Compilers construction toolkits
Here is the compilers construction toolkit list. If you want to add a new one to this list, comment below.
Bison and Flex : Yacc and Lex clones. Creates parsers and scanners for compilers.
TPYacc and TPLex : Port of the Yacc and Lex tools to Turbo Pascal. This tools creates parsers and lexical scanners for compilers.Coco/R : Coco/R combines the functionality of the well-known UNIX tools lex and yacc, to form an extremely easy to use
compiler generator that generates recursive descent parsers. Available versions ( Oberon, Modula-2, Pascal, Delphi, C and Java) for more info see http://cs.ru.ac.za/homes/cspt/cocor.htm
antlr : another tool for language recognition Tool written in Java for generating recognizers in Java or C++.  No money required for use, but download requires online registration for authors tracking purposes. Runs with SUN Java SDK.
Delphi Compiler Generator : Runs on Win32 only, written in Delphi, source code included. Free (as in "free beer", not "free speech") for non commercial use
GENTLE Compiler Construction System : This compiler construction tool purports to provide a uniform framework for language recognition, definition of abstract syntax trees, construction of tree walkers based on pattern recognition, smart traversal, simple unparsing for source to source translation and optimal code selection for microprocessors. Note however that if you use it to create an application, the licensing terms require that your applications be licensed under the GNU GPL.
Jacc : Jacc is a general-purpose parser generator that given a LALR(1) context-free grammar generates the source(s) of a C++ class that implements a parser for the language defined by the grammar. Jacc has a robust and powerful semantic value type system that allows the user to benefit by the OO language environment. Another innovative feature is its customizable code generating back end - the Jamp macro processor which generates the final sources based on a template file and attributes defined in the jacc grammar file. This way the user has better control to the style and structure of the generated code.
3)Tutorials and articles
Here is the tutorials and articles about compiler writing. If you want to add a new one to this list, comment below.
Let's build a compiler : A very good tutorial on writing a simple compiler in 16 articles. By Jack W. Crenshaw.Parsing techniques : Free book to download in postscript or pdf about parsing techniques.
