GCC does still have a pdp11 backend today. It doesn't seem to be very
actively maintained, and how well it works nowadays is possibly another
question, but it should at least be buildable.
I assume they also removed the switch for K&R
mode.
I'm not sure there ever was such a switch. If there was, it was
removed a long time ago. "-std=c90" still works and should accept
some, maybe most, K&R code. As others have noted, GCC has no option to
accept pre-K&R C, though I suspect it would probably not be all that
hard to write some sort of preprocessor to convert such code to either
K&R or C90 dialect.
