Generating code which uses a big array as a stack and has stack pointer
frame pointer registers that point into this array is definitely not
the right approach.

Going to RTL at all is probably a mistake, I think -- a GCC back-end
for CIL should probably go directly from GCC trees (e.g. the new GIMPLE
tree representation, see http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/tree-ssa/#gimple)
rather than RTL.
