Another case for portability is for example configuration management
tools such as ClearCase: when my colleague and me have defined
sufficiently
close configurations for our views and he builds his project along
with PCHs, the
next time I do the same thing I get those PCHs "winked in" even if it
was created on a
machine with different endianness. So it is better if my machine can
properly read
them, instead of regenerating (and sending it back to my colleague
with the same
defect).
This is not working for GCC's precompiled headers, since they are
inherently
non-portable.
Cheers,
Gabor
