Well, I don't know the details about portability, but there are a couple of pages in their documentation where they straight up say they keep the tools updated, and the APIs are the same except (which differences are in such areas of which I have never heard even with some rudimentary understanding of what Unix syscalls look like and what some parts of a kernel are).

    Yeah, those details are firmly in the "deep magic" realm for me. I suppose I could figure them out if I wanted to spend the time trying, but I'd rather just assume that Apple's engineers know what they're doing. (And know that it really doesn't affect me either way if they don't)
