Do you mean the byte code compiler?  You can find it at:

I hope to be making some substantial progress on this over summer.
But I would not hold up any projects in anticipation of major R
changes--the current recommended strategy of first writing something
that is correct, profiling to find out where a performance problem is
if there is one, and then (maybe) optimizing by rewriting R code or
coding core bits in C or Fortran is likely to remain the best strategy
for a long time to come.

Best,
