MPW (Apple's Macintosh Programmer's Workshop, available through Apple
developer services) offers a very comprehensive C compiler and programming
environment for the Mac.  It's major drawback is that, like most extensive
and customizible environments, it takes a fair degree of committment to 
learn (refer to the book by Joel West on MPW).  LightSpeed C by Symantec is
has an excellent C compiler and a source level debugger - HIGHLY recommended!
