Truly portable C applications (lwn.net)
Programming language polyglots are files that are valid programs in multiple languages, and do different things in each. While polyglots are normally nothing more than a curiosity, the Cosmopolitan Libc project has been trying to put them to a novel use: producing native, multi-platform binaries that run directly on several operating systems and architectures. There are still some rough edges with the project's approach, but it is generally possible to build C programs into a polyglot format with with minimal tweaking.
