If the above suggestion doesn't get you anywhere, perhaps avrlibc
could be hacked into a PDP-11 library.   All of the hardware support will
have to be ripped out of course, but there are nice tight
implementations of generic library functions in there.

I took a look at that.   It seems to be largely assembly code, which makes it not very helpful.

I've lifted more than a few routines from it, and they've all been C.
Guess I just got lucky.   Sorry for the false start.

No problem.

Meanwhile, I'm digging through the rt11 sig tapes from trailing-edge, which seem to have various bits of decus c in them.   It's hard to sort out what's what but I ran across a directory full of libc type things in c.   So that looks promising. 

I also found RSTS libc pieces, which is nice for another day...
