Something tells me it isn't.  I can't see why you're even using recursion
here. And what happens the second time you want to call this function?

void do_mat (char matrix[ROWS][COLS])
{
    int i, j;
    for (i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
        for (j = 0; j < COLS; j++)
            matrix[i][j] = 'o';
}

Different compilers will generate different code... You're probably
running out of stack space.  The compilers probably can't optimize
the function to avoid keeping all that state on the stack.  You could
probably keep recursion and eliminate the static variables:

  void do_mat (char matrix[ROWS][COLS], int row_pos, int col_pos);

You fill in the definition...
