No.  There is a port of GCC to the transputers.  Actually several ports.  The
last port was GCC 2.7.2.  It can be found on my webpage at
http://members.tripod.com/transputer.  Another older port was done for the
Helios Operating System.  There exists yet another port called tracc (a rare
one, very very difficult to find) which is GCC 1.?.?  I have a copy, but never
looked at it.  The GCC 2.7.2 code isn't really optimized too well though.
