 From the notes, it also looks like the Tops-20 version can be used to 
build the Tops-10 version.

There is C cross-compiler included to do this, 
TOPS20:<KCC-6.BUILD>XCCT10.EXE

Speaking as a programmer of both systems, I will tell you that there are 
a number of things that Tops-20 will do (in terms of system services) 
that Tops-10 will not do.  This has impact to libc (which is documented)

It looks like Ken (or somebody) added code to compile and run on a PC though, so it might be possible to build it there and cross compile.   Could be a fun project, but I don't have the time right now.
