Berkeley actively rewrote most of unix yes. Net/1 was released about
the same time GNU was getting started. Net/2 and later 4.4 BSD
continued this trend, where 4.4 was finally a complete system.
BSD386 only lagged Linux by about a year and had much stronger
networking support, but supported fewer obscure devices than linux...

Ps I know this glosses over a lot, and isn't intended to be pedantic
as to who got where first. Only they were about the same time... and
I'm especially glossing over the AT&T suits, etc.
It's really hard to say. How would you compile it? Clang didn't come
along until 2007. The Amsterdam Compiler Kit, perhaps?
If you're asking about non-gcc ANSI C compilers? There were dozens;
sometimes several per platform. One random example was lcc* (1994). And
of course the vendor compilers at which gcc specifically took aim.
There were also quite a number of non-GNU C++ compilers.
