If there is a compiler for that so-called portable language in other operating
systems. Thus the compiler isn't portable and has to be built from the
operating system parts (e.g. executable file format).

That's why the free software and Linux failed. Major free software projects are
funded by software companies such as Microsoft or Red Hat.

Still the compiler isn't portable. Replacing the hardware depedency with high
level portable languages only reduce the porting cost. If there is no compiler
for a so-called portable language there is no port-ability.

See above.

Indeed.

I noticed your compiler rely on third party libraries, consequently the
port-ability may be broken on some operating systems.
