I just looked, what looks like a later rewrite of pcc is in Daedulas Devuan -

"PCC is a small, simple, fast and understandable C99 compiler based on the
original Portable C Compiler by S. C. Johnson, written in the late 1970s.
Focus on being able to compile and run on a PDP11, even if it may not happen
in reality, keeps it lean; abstinence from over-complicated algorithms leads
to quick reliable code generation. Even though much of the compiler has been
rewritten, some of the basics still remain."

Might still be worth a look?
