It's a rule : 8(%sp) refer to the first argument passed to a function. Then,
to access the second argument you have to increase 8 by the size of the first
one. In our case, the first argument is 2 byte (the int type in tigcc), so
the second argument is located at 10(%sp), and so on.

Hope I was clear...
