      I don't think it was, but It's hard to say, as it's just one big

It would not easily self host, but few of the PDP-11 compilers were
asked to self host.   They started cross compiling from the 10's then
from the Vaxen.     By the time PDP-11 went EOL, the cross compilers were
running on Alpha (and maybe PMAX - again too man beers ago).

The the DEC PDP-11 C runs on the PDP-11, it's not a cross compiler.
