Define "mainframe". Most Unix servers have a C compiler as part of the
standard executable package, but of course this only applies to those
mainframes that run a Unix shell. Every university computer I've ever
seen has a C compiler on it. As far as business servers go, it's
potluck. GCC has been ported to a vast number of platforms, but the
only way to know for sure is to ask the administrators of the mainframe
in question.
