Yes. (Been listening to any Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' lately?).

There are several public domain C compilers that could be converted for 
the MV architecture, but you will have to write your own back-end code
generator (with only 4 wonderful registers). Two common public domain 
compilers are the Gnu and Small-C compilers, but I don't know if either
of these has ever been ported to an MV.

We do all of our code development at SAS Institute in C - current estimate
is about 2+ million lines of code, and use DG's C compiler. Except for
a few minor problems (which are usually fixed very rapidly by DG), and
code generation inefficiencies it is pretty good.
