There isn't one on Windows.
Even on the Linux/FreeBSD/OSX ports, you'll see a lot of variation.
Heck, even the change from OSX 10.4 to 10.5 broke binary compatibility,
then again from 10.5 to 10.6.
We try to hide a lot of this from D users of Phobos, but it's there in
the implementation of Phobos and the code generated by the compiler.
