Until the early 2000s most sites were AIX and they then switched to 
Windows. We used the MKS NutCracker software to run what essentially was 
Linux software, including an X server and Motif GUIs on Windows. We 
dropped the AIX build but continued to build with gcc on Linux and cl on 
Microsoft. Indeed there were differences,

One of the major problems with the AIX to Linux move was AIX was very 
forgiving of NULL references and Linux has no sense of humor.
