Is it? I'm somewhat familiar with gcc and clang's source and it doesn't really particularly look like it to me.

Checking for similarity with compilers that consist of orders of magnitudes more code probably doesn't reveal much. There many more smaller compilers for C-adjacent languages out there pkus cod3 fragments from text books.

There are not many more compilers with the specific optimization pass I linked.

Also, I don't think you could reuse code from a different compiler unless you used the same IR.
