Also, unless you're testing possible bugs in compiler backends or the C standard

valgrind/asan there.
I've often been able to flush out difficult bugs by compiling on another
platform.
Back in the bad old DOS days, I quickly learned to develop the programs on a
protected mode operating system, then port to 16 bit real mode DOS as the last
step. :-)
Have I run into weird bugs that only occurred on one platform? Yes. Were they
_really_ rare? You betcha. *
Memory corruption bugs show themselves differently on different platforms, and
one of them likely will make it easier to find the bug.
