[KSB] There are several MUMPS compilers, both free / open source and

two, of which GT.M is the only one that is Free.
Are any of them

a) written in C ? (or, rather, non-MUMPS)
[KSB] I suspect so, but I don't know for sure because I have never used any MUMPS other than GT.M.

b) sufficient to compile a basic GT.M (rather than a full MUMPS)
[KSB] I don't know, and an investigation seems like a lot of work to deal with a simple bootstrap of ASCII files created from other ASCII files. Unlike the gcc bootstrap, the GT.M bootstrap is not an ASCII to binary step.
