It's obvious and i agree that the lack of portability is a serious problem.
On the other hand, i don't understand why linking C++ code (which is
exported as standard C) to a C library (like compiling xsample for pd) poses
a problem... can anyone give me indications about the problems with xsample,
gem and pd?
The only cross-compiler-problem that i can imagine by now is the linkage to
the standard C++ libraries.

It's not (merely) about fun.
It's also about readability, modularity, time-saving, robustness.
