Well, maybe. But there's no way to *guarantee* it will work. And
apparently it doesn't.
It's not unheard of - I have some C code which I developed over the last
year or so on gcc 4.9. When I first attempted to compile it on 5.2 it
failed horrible. And there's no real unusual things I'm doing - I didn't
even use C11, just C99.
