There is also the NorCroft C compiler.  It has back ends for quite a few
machines, and one of the is the /370 series.  From the announcement:
  The compiler produces either or both IBM object modules or
  assemblable listing.  Dhrystone 23K+ on a 3084 running MVS/XA.

  NorCroft is a trading name of a startup company (Codemist Ltd)
  formed by three academics:
    Prof J.P. Fitch, Dept of Computer Science, Bath University, UK
    Dr. A. Mycroft, Computer Lab, Cambridge University, UK

  The NorCroft C compiler is a significantly optimising re-targetable
  C compiler to the ANSI draft standard.  It includes many 'lint'-like
  features and warnings for common errors (e.g. printf format/argument
  checks, '=' and '==' confused, /* inside comment, etc.).

I know Alan Mycroft, but have no financial link with him or this company.
