Actually, if your source is more algorithm-oriented (no PC
hardware stuff like ports and such), and you stick to the ANSI C
and you use DJGPP, there is a high chance that you will be able
to port it to any Unix machine (if gcc is installed).
Of course you will need to recompile the source and get a new
executable for every platform, but it will work.

GCC is the GNU C compiler for Unixes. DJGPP is the GCC port to DOS.
So DJGPP is very compatible with gcc, if you remeber what I said above.
