Unix. It was coined by Brian Kernighan as a play on Multics,
a multi-user OS developed by GE and others (including, for
a time, Bell Labs). The idea was that Unix would run on
machines small enough for use by one person -- an uncommon
thing three and a half decades ago.
BTW, Multics is essentially an acronym for some forgettable
combination of things like "multi user" and "control system",
IIRC.

(I'm sure Multics is actually a paragon in its memory usage by todays
standards!)

I read somewhere, a long time ago, that when Ken Thompson demonstrated
the yet-to-be named OS that Mr. Kerninghan exclaimed something like "Ha,
it's a castrated Multics!"

I've been programming for a while, but most of my experience is on unix.
How do C compilers work on operating systems that weren't written in C?
And that have no libc?
Compiling C on unix seems so easy. Everything in the code either goes
right to machine code, or links to a C library (often libc) or links to
the kernel. Are there libc equivalents on non-unix OSes?

The cause of my confusion is that for example stdio.h is considered
