Did you build that C compiler yourself? Using what compiler? Unless you bootstrapped it from a handwritten assembler, you'll need to consider the attack outlined in Reflections on Trusting Trust

I did but I foolishly relied on GCC before it was self-hosted now I guess I should scrap the whole thing and build by hand.
