Unix used to; the real-time embedded OS I'm using (RTXC) does.
All my embedded systems code does.  It's not hard, really, if
you code to the standard.  There are certain operations that
can be difficult on some architectures, such as the VAX and
PDP-11 access pattern requirements that we've discussed, but
(some) newer architectures are more robustly designed.
