ANSI-C++ compliance?

There's an interesting article in the Sept. 1, 1998 issue of EDN
magazine ("Linux revisited") regarding why commercial vendors don't port
more software to Linux (actually, this article is readers' replies to a
previous article).
One of the comments is that "GCC isn't ANSI-C++-compliant," so "to port
would require a large amount of development time...".
Is this true? I've always thought of gcc as being on the bleeding edge.
Are there really compliance problems that affect portability that
severely?
