According to the standard, portability problems are very limited as GNU programs are designed to be compiled with one compiler, the GNU C Compiler and only run on one system, which is the GNU system.

There is one form of portability problem though, and that is the fact that the standard makes it clear that a program should run on different CPU types. The standard says that GNU doesn't and won't support 16 bit types, but handling all the different 32 and 64 bit types is absoltlyabsolutly neccessary.
