In 1987 gcc would compile to 68k quite well. Before that I seem to recall that there was also a C compiler from Standford, from sumex (wow - do I still have those brain cells?). Remember sumex-aim ? SumMacC. Anyway, I think the Kinetics fastpath was compiled with that and I could swear I was using it as a C compiler on a vax-11/750 running mt. xinu in mid 80's. Find someone from pixar - they were using it to compile Macintosh code. I don't know the lineage of that compiler, but I think it was a port of something older.
SumMacC was based on MIT/LCS/Terman's port of pcc for the NuMachine project. I thought I had the sources, but all I've been able to turn up is the MIT compiler collection tape with a bunch of obscure pcc ports.
