Unix Edition Zero
The interpreter is part of the binary yes. I have reversed what was available here: http://squoze.net/B/ and write my own B compiler that generates the same threaded code as well: https://github.com/aap/b

Early version of the very first c compiler
Absolutely! In fact I have done precisely that: https://github.com/aap/b and it's about 1500 lines of B code.

So the earliest C compilers were under 5000 lines of C+asm:
https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc - Dennis Ritchie's first C compiler on GitHub
- Dennis Ritchie’s first C compiler (c. 1972)
