The opposite is in fact true: the C language with its core library is 
highly standardized and portable across all platforms. There probably is 
no "more portable" computer language in existence. 
Implementation-specific libraries, however, are usually not portable, 
hence applications using these libraries must be adapted to the target 
system. And that bit is not "some issues" -- it's the real work.
