Multics does have a C compiler ? it may have been developed at Waterloo (or Calgary?). I
just checked the pnotice and see that it is copyright Honeywell and AT&T.
It is pretty lame and the run-time library is (obviously) ancient. It includes a c
preprocessor, a curses library, make, lint, and a few unix-like commands.

There is a also the GCOS TSS subsystem which is an interactive programming
environment supporting several languages (Multics includes the BASIC and
FORTRAN runtimes). Sadly, there remain some emulator bugs that are causing
some failures under TSS; and lacking the source code for TSS, it is proving
to be an intractable issue.

That would almost be enough for me from the sounds of things. Too bad there are issues.
I don?t suppose there is Waterloo C? That was a painful way to try to learn C
programming. :-) Definitely not K&R.
