Yeah it can but in practice systems have a canonical model in their official headers.

And yet msvc and gcc disagree on sizeof(long) on AMD64.

Edit: but of course you meant OS with system, not hardware architecture :)

MSVC on... Linux AMD64?

:) to be fair I did note my misunderstanding in my edit.
