Your C code might still work but are you not relying on any libraries which might have been updated in 15 years in a non-backwards compatible way and thus broken your build?
I'm probably in a special area -- algorithms research. I tend not to use many libraries, and I'm often taking code written 10-20 years ago and wanting to get it working. The code is often VERY complicated, and I don't really want to reimplement it.
Finally (and probably most importantly) I don't care about security holes, I'm not going to run this code on malicious input.
