There are plenty of CP/M simulators for Linux, but they're very niche and hard to find (and use).
I used to do C development for the Z80 using one; it translated CP/M syscalls to Linux ones, and would let me run the CP/M version of Hitech C more or less as if it were native. It worked all right. Hitech C was only a K&R C compiler and didn't produce great code, but it was entirely self-hosted.
The script and emulator I used came from here (look for 'Hitech C on Linux'):

...but while searching for that I found this other emulator, which looks a bit more maintained:
