I found some early C sources code, that I wrote, in the days I was beginning C, in 1987.

C is written with declarations of this kind:

myFunction(c, v)
char c;
int v;
{
   ...
}

And I wonder if there is still a compiler available on Linux today (I'm on Debian 10) able to compile such old code.

Yes, both gcc and clang do it with -std=c89.

Other pre-ANSI K&R C features may not work, or need options and tricks.

Especially, assuming that you can write to literal strings does not work (neither gcc nor clang supports -fwrite-strings anymore).
