Other than the files mentioned in compat_ultrix(8) I just copied the
contents of /usr/lib/cmplrs and the associated symlinks in /usr/bin
from an Ultrix backup.

There's DU and linux versions of the Compaq C compiler available.  I've
looked a little at the linux version, but it causes MMU traps when run
on my pc164 :-(  There wouldn't be an Ultrix version of the Compaq C
compiler available.
