I fork Clang or GCC and rename it. I'll take only $10k.

My question, which I didn’t still find anybody asking: how many compilers, including but not limited to the 2 most famous, were in the training set.

Certainly tcc. Probably also rui314's chibicc as it's relatively popular. sdcc is likely in there as well. Among numerous others that are either proprietary or not as well known.
