Judging from comments by U. Ammann [1],[2], part of the original Pascal
implementation team at ETH Zurich, the first Pascal compiler for the CDC
6x00 family of computers was written in 1970-1971, and a second was
developed from scratch for the same computers but compiling the revised
language, was written in 1972-1974.  I think both of these compilers
were one-pass.
