A possibility could be to read the following websites or books

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/eintr.pdf

Christian Queinnec's book *Lisp In Small Pieces 
*https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139172974

(I read the original French version, /Principes d'implantation de Scheme 
et Lisp/, ISBN 978-2-916466-03-3)

If you need more theory about compilation of Lisp and ML like languages, 
read Appel's book on /Compiling with Continuations/.


Of course I recommend downloading the latest GNU emacs snapshot source 
tarball and compiling it. I am doing so every day!

NB: my pet open source project is the RefPerSys inference engine on 
https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/ and http://refpersys.org/
