Here is an interesting one, compiling a file with
the setting /STANDARD=RELAXED_ANSI89 vs /STANDARD=portable
has an effect on how the linker sees external references
the the DECC$SHR.EXE

eg. using SIOD 2.9 as available from various servers around the internet:

 $ cc /STANDARD=portable slib
 $ link/exe=siod.exe siod.obj,slib.obj,sliba.obj,trace.obj

 $ cc /STANDARD=RELAXED_ANSI89 slib
 $ link/exe=siod.exe siod.obj,slib.obj,sliba.obj,trace.obj
 %LINK-W-NUDFSYMS, 1 undefined symbol:
 %LINK-I-UDFSYM,         TIMES
 %LINK-W-USEUNDEF, undefined symbol TIMES referenced
         in psect $LINK$ offset %X00000040
         in module SLIB file USER$DISK:[GJC.SIOD]SLIB.OBJ;4


This is with DECC 1.3-002.
