Even without libraries, if you're writing in C it's really easy to get
tripped up by different sizes of variables (is "long" 4 bytes or 8?  How
about "int"?  Does the compiler need an option or pragma for "long long" to
work?  Are you secretly depending on pointers being the same size as a
particular type?)
