The original C compilers were written on and for the PDP-11!
You can find one such in the DECUS library.  Whitesmiths will
sell you another, plus a Pascal pre-processor:  this should
accept a more modern version of C.  Other companies should
have PDP-11 versions: this  w a s  the original base for Unix,
once it was written in C!  (The PDP-7 versions, memory tells
me, were largely assembly code.)
