Cross compilation has also this advantage , that You have better editors
to Your disposal and You can work faster.
Well native cc seems to be good enough, using pdp11 in emulator we have
anyway only hobbyst license .

It can't be done.
As others point out, the program is many times (100x or more?) too
big -- likely even gcc 1.x is far too big, but gcc {2,3,4}.x are all
meant for large 32-bit systems.
However, cross-compilation can certainly be easily done. I have made
a PDP-11 back-end for lcc[1] (not quite complete but shows that it
can be done), which is an ANSI (c89) compiler[2]. lcc is a much
smaller and simpler compiler than gcc, but its executables are still
massively outsize for PDP-11 systems.
