It seems to me that these papers rather understate the
importance of
generating good quality code. As far as I can tell, BCPL and BLISS
came close, but were too large to run on a PDP-11 and only existed
as cross-compilers.

appears to indicate that by 1974 there existed a native PDP-11 (/40 or
/45) BCPL compiler which ran under RSX-11.
