Well, as far as I know, the 1401 series does NOT have binary
data types, or floating point. Just decimal integers, where
an implied decimal point can be placed. I think this would
make a POSIX compliant C rather difficult to do. But, of
course, you could just implement what came naturally to the
machine. For a POSIX compliant implementation, you'd just
about have to generate some kind of code interpreted by an
interpreter that ran on the 1401 directly.

After all, languages are supposed to expose
features
of the underlying machine to the programmer.
Many believe that the purpose of
languages is to HIDE (abstract) the underlying
machine.
