An international standard which does address many of these issues is POSIX (IEEE 1003.1, ISO/IEC 9945-1), and many operating systems (not just Unix) now have POSIX-compatible programming interfaces.
It is possible, and desirable, for most of a program to be ANSI-compatible, deferring the system-dependent functionality to a few routines in a few files which are either heavily #ifdeffed or rewritten entirely for each system ported to;
