I am looking for full source code for a *VERY* tiny C

any common assembly language. I'm much more concerned with size of the
compiler than functionality/features. Can anyone suggest one or know where
the source might by laying around? I thought I had heard ages ago about some
microcomputer C compilers being well under 32K.
As to how this relates to classiccmp... well.. *blush* I'm actually thinking
of porting C to the HP2100. The whole thing has to fit in 32K of ram,
including drivers, etc. Not sure what OS it will be placed on, perhaps
HP-IPL/OS. Might make a simple native OS for it or might even make it
standalone, not sure yet.
C requires a stack pointer and a index register.Offhand I don't think
your hardware supports that.
The Honeywell H316 had a high level langauge PL516
that might be easyier to port.

The PDP-8 is said to have a pascal compiler, that may
be another idea.
