Linus' point is literally that the pains associated with cross developing/compilation are what brought x86 to power and keeps it there.

- scarface74 8y agoOn the level of Linux it might be hard, but thousands of iOS developers do it all of the time. On the application level if you are just doing C, my experience with writing cross platform C, if it works on one platform and breaks on the other, there is probably a bug in your software that is only surfacing on one platform usually around depending on undefined behavior or relying implementation defined behavior. But my “experience” with native cross platform programming is two decades old - x86 and whatever the old DEC VAX and Stratus VOS platforms were running.
