This is probably false. Take a language like C++, and even though some open source compilers will work for both Windows AND Linux, some functions or libraries may be available on Windows but not Linux and vice versa. Theoretically, if you're using the standard library and the compiler supports it, then yes, but in practice, the answer is usually no.
