Interesting that they have a non-clang C front end. Did DEC have weird vendor-specifoc extensions to C?

Yes, see the appendices of http://h41361.www4.hpe.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V40F_...
The original VMS C compiler targeted a pre-ANSI "VAX C" dialect which had further differences. DEC C replaced it on the Alpha (I don't think it was backported to the VAX)
