Not quite. fopen(,"wb") comes from POSIX.  "wb" is probably a microsoft
extension, but it is certainly not in POSIX nor in glibc.

Huh? It's not whether the compiler allows it, but whether libc allows
it.  ALL libc that are remotely close to POSIX compliant support
fopen(,"wb"), but only Windows platforms (and NOT glibc) support
fopen(,"wt").
