Linux has no compatibility problem with itself or with standards.
Linux in general has huge compatibility problems with himself: right now I’m building binutils because RPM from RHEL6 encodes dependencies into the SRPM that are not backward compatible. Then there is NFS V4 as another example of incompatibility with reference implementations. Then there is ss versus netstat, yet another incompatibility, this time architectural. There are many, many such examples which desktop users and developers aren’t even aware of but system and kernel engineers and system administrators suffer on Linux daily.
