C itself has undergone changes starting with K&R. Code written on one compiler would often produce errors when compiled on another. It may be the original programmer's fault but it falls to you to sort it out. The same for programs with OS specific code. No language is a panacea. All expect you to deal with issues and all are subject to change. If your program relies on certain user-created libraries it may become invalid with the next release of the language. If you didn't write the library yourself you may not be in a position to update it, or it's impossible, and the life of your program ends there. Is Forth dead? Only for those not using it :)
