What UNIX portability?
Back when I was in the university, and Linux kernel was still at 1.0, I had the pleasure to write C and C++ code across Xenix, DG/UX, Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, BSD and naturally Linux also.
There is POSIX, there is what each OS actually do for the implementation defined behaviours, then the whole set of APIs that made each UNIX variant unique and were the selling point of the UNIX clone to start with.
Autoconf and friends did not start out of masochism.
