1977, Bell Labs, UNIX, first FORTRAN 77 compiler.

I'd suspect, this compiler wasn't written in FORTRAN itself, so the
logical conclusion would be that the compiler was witten in C (like
almost anything for UNIX, especially at that time) and thus 'make'
was written to simplify the task of compiling those compiler's sources. ;)
