Reading this very interesting thread I got the malevolent idea to
implement a compliant C compiler which is as different from every other
as possible. Perhaps also for a fictional machine that also differs in
many ways from existing machines.
The purpose would be to show myself and others how un-portable portable
code really is.
I think statement such as "this program is written to be portable" it
means portable in just one or a handfull of aspects.
E.g. "Portable regarding endianess"
"Has been compiled with GCC on two platforms"
